Question

The leg of a right trianle is 10 units and the hypotenuse is 26 units. Find the lengththe other leg and round your answer to the nearest tenths, if necessary. Answer=

Answer 1

the legs are x and 10

and the hypotenuse is 26

we know that in the right angle triangle.

`x^2+10^2=26^2`
`x^2=676-100`

take root

`x=\sqrt[]{576}`
`x=24`

so the other leg is 24.
