Question

Simplify the expression If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 2 cm and one leg is √ 3 cm, the exact length of the other leg is _______ cm

Answer 1

a² + b² = c² a and b are the legs and c is they hypotenuse.

a² + (√3)² = 2²

a² + 3 = 2²

a² + 3 = 4

a² = 4 - 3

a² = 1

a = 1 >>>> 1 is the answer.

hope that helps, God bless!
