Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 58 cm and one of its legs measures 42 cm. What is the length of the missing leg?

Answer 1

24 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

25^2 - 7^2

625 - 49

= 576

missing side = √576 = 24

Answer 2

pythagorean theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
58^2 = 42^2 + b2
3364 = 1764 + b2
1600 = b2
b = 40
