Question

Find the missing length for a right triangle with hypotenuse of 18 and a leg length of 6. Round to the nearest whole number if necessary. (1 point) a) 17 b) 324 c) 19 d) 36

Answer 1

if you want it rounded its 16.97 or 16.9

Answer 2

`a^2 + b^2 = c^2`


`a^2 + 6^2 = 18^2`


`a^2 + 36 = 324`


`a^2 = 288`


`a = √(288)`


`a = √(144 * 2)`


`a = 12√(2)`


`a \approx 17`
