Question

A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 15 and a leg of length 9. What is the length of the other leg of the triangle?

Answer 1

a sqaured + b squared = c squared
9^2+b^2= 15^2
81+b^2=225
b^2= 144
square root of 144 =12
b^2 = 12^2
The length of the other leg is 12 squared.
Hope this helps.
