Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 19 cm and one of its legs measures 14 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

12.8 cm

Explanation:

formula: a^2+b^2=c^2

c=hypotenuse

a=one leg

b=another leg

a=14

c=19

14^2+b^2=19^2

b^2=165

b=12.8

exact decimal is: 12.8452...
