Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 25 m. One of the legs is 8 m. What is the length of the other leg? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

`√(561)` or around 23.69

Explanation:

pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

a=8

b=?

c=25

64+b^2=625 minus 64 from both side

b^2=561 sqrt both side

b=sqrt561
