Question

The leg of a right triangle is 3 units and the hypotenuse is 6 units. What is the length, in units, of the other leg of the triangle? (5 points)

Answer 1

a. rad27

Explanation:

we can use a2+b2=c2 where c is the hypotonuse.

we plug in 3^2+b2=6^2

9+b^2=36

b^2=27

then do a rad over each to get rid of the ^2 on the b

b=rad 27

answer is rad27
