Answer:
72
Explanation:
Given that :
Triangle is right angled ;
Leg length = 21 ; hypotenus = 75 ; Length of missing leg =?
From Pythagoras :
Length of leg 2 = sqrt[(hypotenus )² - (length of leg1)²]
Let length of leg 2 = x
x = sqrt[(75 ² - 21²)]
x = sqrt(5625 - 441)
x = sqrt(5184)
x = 72
A right triangle has a leg length of 21 and a hypotenuse of 75. Find the missing leg.
