Question

A right triangle has one leg with a length of 5 units. The hypotenuse is 30 units long. What is the length of the other leg?

Answer 1

I’m not exactly sure but the Hypotenuse is always the longer leg of the right angle triangle. Labeled H and the leg labeled opposite(O) is always across from the 90 degree angle of the triangle. Leaving the only leg left of the triangle to be labeled adjacent. This is a more advanced way of solving the Pythagorean theorem.

Answer 2

Answer,C

Explanation:

5 squared is 5×5 which is 25

then the hypotenuse which is 30 times 30 equals 900

now we need to find the middle of our equation.

√875

25 plus √875= 900

so your answer is C √875
