PLEASE HELP

1. What is the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle? with sides
sqrt 23yd and sqrt 87 yd
a. 8yd
b. sqrt 110yd
c. 64 yd
d. sqrt 7040yd

Answer 1

A. 8yd

Explanation:

i just took the test i got a 100%. good luck :)

Answer 2

we know that
in a right triangle
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
c²=a²+b²

in this problem
c=√87 yd
a=√23 yd
b=?
so
b²=c²-a²-----> b²=(√87)²-(√23)²----> b²=87-23----> b²=64----> b=8 yd

the answer is
8 yd
