Question

What is the length of side x? If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places. the hypotenuse is 26 units and the long leg is 18.

Answer 1

18.76

Answer 2

as we now :
hypotenuse^2 = perpendicular^2 + base^2
(26unit)^2 = (18unit)^2 + (base)^2
(26unit)^2 - (18unit)^2 = x^2
as we know
a^2-b^2 is (a+b)(a-b)
so we will get
(26+18)(26-18) = x^2
352 = x^2
root of 352 = x
that is 18,76
