Question

One leg of a right triangle is 7 and the hypotenuse is 10. What is the length of the

other leg?

Answer 1

7.14

Explanation:

to answer this you need to use pythagoras theorem and that is A²+B²=c²

in this case C²-A²=B²

10²=100

7²=49

100-49=51

then you need to square root 51 which gives your answer 7.14

Answer 2

L = 7.14

Explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

L² = 10² - 7²

L² = 100 - 49= 51

L = 7.14
