Question

Find the length of the orther leg when one leg is 20 and hypotenous is 25

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

Do 25 ^ 2 = 625

Do 20 ^ 2 = 400

Because you're finding something that's nor the hypotenuse you subtract

So you do 625 - 400 = 225

Then you do the square root of 225 to get the answer

Which is 15

Answer 2

15

Explanation:

Let 'l' be the length of the other leg

Using pythagoras theorem,

25² = 20² + l²

625 = 400 + l²

225 = l²

l = 15
