Question

Two sides of a right triangle are 8 and 12. Find the missing side length if 8 and 12 are legs. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 14.42

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is use the Pythagorean Theorem! In case you don't remember, it's a² + b² = c², where a and b are legs and c is the hypotenuse.

So...

8² + 12² = c²

64 + 144 = c²

208 = c²

$\sqrt{208}$ = 14.42
