Answer: 9</h3>
================================================
Work Shown:
a = unknown = leg #1
b = 12 = leg #2
c = 15 = hypotenuse
Plug those values into the pythagorean theorem and solve for 'a'
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + (12)^2 = (15)^2 .... substitution
a^2 + 144 = 225
a^2 = 225 - 144 ... subtracting 144 from both sides
a^2 = 81
a = sqrt(81) .... applying square root to both sides
a = 9
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Ab+ac=a(b+c)
a is common factor
factor
6ab=2*3*a*b
9bc=3*3*b*c
common factor is 3*b or 3b
3b(2a)+3b(3c)=3b(2a+3c)
