Question

Please help i need this to pass

Answer 1

28

Explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

a^2+96^2=100^2

a^2+9216=10000

a^2=784

a^2= √784

a=28

Answer 2

28 in.

Explanation:

Let,

The unknown leg be = x

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

`{hypotenuse}^(2) - {base}^(2) = {height}^(2)`

`= > {100}^(2) - {96}^(2) = {x}^(2)`

`= > {x}^(2) = 10000 - 9216`

`= > {x}^(2) = 784`

`= > x = √(784)`

=> x = 28

Hence,

the another leg is 28 in. (Ans)
