Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 37 mm. One leg of the right triangle is 12 mm. What is the length of the other leg?

Answer 1

35 they are right

Explanation:

Answer 2

Use the pythagorean theorem:

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

`12^2+b^2=37^2`

`144+b^2=1369`

`b^2=1225`

`√(b^2) = √(1225)`

`b=35`
Your answer is 35mm.
