Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 15 cm and one of its legs
measures 5 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the
nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

√200 or 14.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras' Theorem: a²+b²=c²

Rearrange to get b² (one of the smaller sides): c²-a²=b²

225-25=200

√200 = 14.1

Answer 2

Answer:

14.1 I hope this helps! Brainliest please!

Step-by-step explanation:

So we use the Pythagorean theorem which is a squared + b squared = c squared. C is the hypotenuse. So we do:

15 squared - 5 sqaured = b squared

225 - 25 = b squared

200 = b squared

14.1 = b
