Question

A leg of a right triangle measures 84 units, and the hypotenuse measures 85 units. What is the length of the remaining side rounded to the nearest hundredth unit?

Answer 1

13 units

Explanation:

pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²

c= 85

b= 84

a²+(84)²=85²

a²+7056=7225

a²=169

square root of a² = square root of 169

a=13
