Answer 2

pythagorean theorem states hat for right triangles, you take:\[\sf (\text{leg 1})^2 +(\text{leg 2})^2 =(\text{hypotenuse})^2\]in this case, we're given the hypotenuse and a leg, so rearrange the equation to solve for the missing leg. \[\sf (\text{leg 2})^2 = (\text{hypotenuse})^2 - (\text{leg 1})^2\]\[\sf \text{leg 1} = \sqrt{(\text{hypotenuse})^2 - (\text{leg 1})^2}\]

Answer 3

Sorry, meant to write \(\text{leg 2} = \sqrt{(\text{hypotenuse})^2 -(\text{leg 1})^2}\)
