Question

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 14cm and its hypotenuse measures 15cm. Find the measure of the other leg

Answer 1

the measure of the missing leg is 5.38

or 5.4

Explanation:

s is for Squared

Cs= As+Bs

let's say 14cm was side a

Bs=Cs-As

Bs= 15s-14s

Bs=225-196

Bs=29

B= square root of Bs

B=5.38

Answer 2

5.4

Explanation:

c² = a² + b²

15² = 14² + b

225 = 196 + b

b = 225 - 196

= 29

= 5.4
