Question

Triangle ABC is a right triangle.

The lengths of one leg is 60 feet, and the hypotenuse is 61 feet.

What is the length, in feet, of the other leg?

Answer 1

answer: the length of the other leg is 11 ft.

explanation: i used the equation 60^2+b^2=61^2 bc the pythagorean theorem (the expression used to solve a missing side of right triangles ONLY) is a^2+b^2=c^2.

Answer 2

Hello! answer: 11

Explanation:

60 × 60 = 3600

11 × 11 = 121

3600 + 121 = 3721

√3721 = 61

therefore 11 is the missing leg Hope that helps!
