Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 13cm and one of its legs
measures 11cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necessary, round to the
nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem :

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so,

11^2 + b^2 = 13^2

121 + b^2 = 169

b^2= 48

b = 6.928

Round to the tenth : 6.9
