Question

How do you solve for the hypotenuse and the short leg with only the long leg

Answer 1

To solve for the hypotenuse and the short leg of a right triangle when only the long leg is given, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides (legs) is equal to the square of the longest side (hypotenuse).
