Question

The leg of a right triangle is 5 units and the hypotenuse is 8 units. What is the length, in units, of the other leg of the triangle?

Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

Use the pythagorean theorem:

\(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

\(a^2 + 5^2 = 8^2\)

\(a^2 + 25 = 64\)

Subtract 25 to both sides:

\(a^2 = 39\)

\(a = \sqrt{39}\)

Can you square that? @blackops2luvr
