Question

a right triangle has a non hypotenuse side length of 45" and the hypotenuse measures 53". What is the length of the other non-hypotenuse side?

Answer 1

Answer:

28"

Step-by-step explanation:

the length of the other non-hypotenuse side =

√(53² - 45²) =√(2809-2025) =√784 = 28"

Answer 2

• B=45
• H=53

Using Pythagorean theorem

$\\ \rm\longmapsto P^2=H^2-B^2$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto P^2=53^2-45^2$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto P^2=2809-2025$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto P^2=784$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto P=\sqrt{784}$

$\\ \rm\longmapsto P=28$
