Question

Find the missing side. X is the hypotenuse 12 and 5 are the legs

Answer 1

10.9

Explanation:

Given that,

Hypotenuse = 12

One leg = 5

We need to find the another leg. Let it is b. We can solve it using Pythagoras theorem as follows :

`H^2=h^2+b^2\\\\b^2=H^2-h^2\\\\b^2=12^2-5^2\\\\b=10.9`

So, another leg is 10.9.
