Answer:
Step-by-step
Let us assume that the third leg is X. So, X^2 + 2^2 = 5^2.X^2 = 25 - 4.X^2 = 21.X = root 21.
a right triangle, hypotenuse=5 cm, one leg=2 cm, the other leg=xApplying the Pythagorean theorem:5^2=2^2+x^2, 25=4+x^2,x^2=25–4=21, x=sqrt(21), x=4,58 cmThe measurement of the other leg is 4,58 cm
