Question

1. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side of a right triangle that has one leg

Answer 1

Answer:

37 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we know the formula is a²+b²=c²

So, first plug in leg one and leg two:

12²+35²=c²

Now, solve.

144+1225=c²

1369=c²

Okay, so we have to square root 1369 to find c.

The square root of 1369 is 37.

Therefore, the answer is 37 inches.
