Parth (parthkohli):

The length of the hypotenuse is two times the shorter leg ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the radical form for that ?

Parth (parthkohli):

radical form? there's no need :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im doing homework so i need the radical for for it bacause those are my answer choices.

Parth (parthkohli):

Well just double it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth (parthkohli):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Parth (parthkohli):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um.. Parth, you're wrong.

Parth (parthkohli):

Umm?

Parth (parthkohli):

It's the 'shorter leg'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The short leg is 7. The longer leg is 14. The hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{a^2+b^2}\).

Parth (parthkohli):

Huh no!

Parth (parthkohli):

longer leg is sqrt3 times the shorter leg, FYI

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, right! My bad.
