The hypotenuse of a right triangle is √18 units. What are the lengths of the legs of the triangle? Will fan and medal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anonymous · Answer

Can u atleast help me find 3 different answers and explain your strategies/ show work..........................

welshfella · Answer

This is done by the Pythagoras theorem

c^2 = a^2 + b^2      where c = hypotenuse and a and b are the legs

welshfella · Answer

there are many solutions to your question 
if the legs of the triangle are equal 
then 
c^2 = 2 a^2
(√18 )^2  = 2 a^2
18 = 2 a^2
a^2 = 9  
a = 3
- the length of each leg is 3
