Question

Solve the equation to find the missing leg of the right triangle

x2+0.5 squared=1.3 squared

Answer 1

1.2

Explanation:

x2 is the missing leg so the formula to find the missing leg to a right triangle is

c squared- b squared=a squared which in this case would be

1.3 ^2 - 0.5^2 = x^2 ( ^ means squared)

1.69 - 0.25 = x^2

`√(x)`1.44 = 1.2

1.2 = missing leg
