Question

A right triangle has one leg 24 m long and a hypotenuse 25 m long. How long is its other leg?

Answer 1

leg^2 +leg^2=hypotenuse^2

Answer 2

7 - 24 - 25
It's a pythagorean triple

So you know the other leg is 7

Answer 3

24^2 +leg^2=25^2
576+leg^2=625

Answer 4

I forgot about that... but moon wolf, do u know how to solve it using pythagoreans theorem?

Answer 5

a^2+b^2=c^2 ;
24^2+b^2= 25^2;
576+b^2=625;
-576 -576;
b^2=49;
square root b^2 and 49;
b=7
