Question

One of the legs of a right triangle measures 7 cm and its hypotenuse measures 12 cm.

Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

AC ≈ 9,7sm

Explanation:

AB=7 One side of a right triangle

BC=12 Hypotenuse of a right triangle

AC=?=x The other side of a right triangle

x²+7²=12²

x²=144-49

x²=95

x=√(95) ≈ 9,7

AC ≈ 9,7sm
