Question

Answer 1

Answer:j

Explanation:

Answer 2

Hello!

Using the Pythagoras Theorem we can solve this equation. a
`a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)`, where a and b represent legs and c represents the hypotenuse.

Again YOU CANNOT SQUARE ROOT EVERYTHING:


`3^(2) + 4^(2) = 5^(2)`
9+16=25

BUT:

3+4 \\eq 7!!

To continue:


`8^(2) + b^(2) = 10^(2)`
64+ [tex] b^{2} [\tex] = 100
[tex] b^{2} [\tex] = 36
b = 6

The other leg's length is 6.
