Question

If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 2 $\sqrt{3}$ units long and one of the legs is $\sqrt{3}$ units long, then how long is the other leg?


$\sqrt{3}$

2$\sqrt{3}$

3

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

a = the other leg:

$a^{2} =(2\sqrt{3} )^{2} -(\sqrt{3}) ^{2} =(4)(3)-3=12-3$

$a^{2} =9$

$a=\sqrt{9}$

$a=3$
