Question

A right triangle has one leg with a length of 5 units. The hypotenuse is 30 units long. What is the length of the other leg?

A. 5 Units

B. 25 Units

C. V 875

D. V 375

Answer 1

Answer: C.
`\sqrt{875`

Explanation:

use Pythagorean theorem
`a^(2)+b^(2)=c^(2)`

a=5 c=30 solve for b

`25+b^2=900`

subtract 25 from both sides to get
`b^2 =875`

then square both sides to get
`\sqrt{875` for the length of the other leg

Answer 2

i believe the answer is v 875
