Question

What is the length of leg y of the right triangle? (1 point) A right triangle with hypotenuse 26 and legs 24 and y

Answer 1

the formula is

a^2+b^2=c^2

so...

you take 24^2+b^2=26^2

b is missing because we only have one leg

Now, 24^2=576

26^2=676

576+b^2=676

now we subtract 676 by 576=100

and it will be b^2=100

now we square root both sides and it will be

b=10

Answer 2

Y = 10. Because u do 26^2. And get 676. Then do 24^2 and get 576 then minus 676-576= 100. Then do the square root of 100 and get 10
