Question

What is the height of a right triangle if its other two sides are 30 centimeters and 10 centimeters long?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

It depends on whether the 30 cm side is the hypotenuse, or one of the legs.

If the 30 cm side is the hypotenuse, then the third side is √(30^2-10^2) = √800 = 20√2 cm

If the 30 cm side is one of the legs, then the hypotenuse is √(30^2+10^2) = √1,000 = 10√10 cm
