Answer 3

My bad. Is the 60 the length of the hypotenuse or the degree of one of the angles? :)

Answer 4

its the hypotenuse. @KamiBug

Answer 5

Okay, thanks. :)
Since this is a right triangle, you'll use the Pythagorean Theorem!
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a&b are the lengths of the legs)
Plug the known values into the equation and solve for a.
a^2 + 12^2 = 60^2
Can you take it from here? :)

Answer 6

i got 58.78 or 24 sqrt 6 ? should that be further simplified or would it be E ?

Answer 7

24 sqrt. 6 is correct. So it would be E, yes. :)
