The length of other leg is :
The length of hypotenuse of right triangle is :
To solve both problems, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b):
For problem #1:
Given the hypotenuse c = 8 m and one leg a = 5.2 m, we can find the length of the other leg b using the rearranged Pythagorean theorem:
We will calculate this to find the length of the other leg, rounding to the nearest hundredth.
For problem #2:
Given the two legs a = 136 cm and b = 119 cm, we can find the hypotenuse c using the Pythagorean theorem:
We will calculate this to find the length of the hypotenuse, rounding to the nearest tenth.
Let's do these calculations.
For problem #1, the length of the other leg of the right triangle is 6.08 m when rounded to the nearest hundredth.
For problem #2, the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 180.7 cm when rounded to the nearest tenth. Here are the step-by-step calculations for each:
**Problem #1**:
1. Use the Pythagorean theorem:
2. Rearrange to solve for the missing leg:
3. Substitute the known values:
4. Calculate and round to the nearest hundredth:
Problem #2:
1. Use the Pythagorean theorem:
2. Substitute the known values:
3. Calculate and round to the nearest tenth:
