Question

Triangle ABC is a right triangle . The length of one leg is 28 feet, & the length of the hypotenuse is 53 feet . What is the length of the other leg ?

Answer 1

The length of the other leg is 45

A^2+b^2=c^2
Plug the numbers in and square them
784+ b= 2809
-784 -784

Subtract 784 from both sides and
Take the square root of 2025 which is 45
