Question 10 (5 points)

If the length of a leg of a right triangle is 25 and the length of the hypotenuse is 35,
what's the length of the other leg, to the nearest tenth?
O A) 3.2
B) 21.4
OC) 10.6
D) 24.5

Answer 1

D) 24.5

Explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

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

Plug in the values.
`a^(2) + 25^(2) =35x^(2)`

a+ 625 = 1225

then solve for a by subtracting 625 from 1225 = 600

√600= 24.5
