Question

Find the length of the unknown leg of the right triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

side1² + side2²  = hypotenuse²      side 1 = 6.75       hypotenuse = 11.25

                                                        solve for     side 2 = ???

side2²  =  hypotenuse²  -  side1²

side2  =  $\sqrt{hypotenuse^2 - side1^2}$

          = √(11.25² - 6.75²)

          = √(126.56 - 45.56)

          = √(81)

side 2 = 9
