The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 145 units. The length of one leg of the triangle is 144 units. Mike wrote the following step to find the length of the unknown leg: Length of the unknown leg = 1452 − 1442 = 21,025 − 20,736 = 289 units Which statement best explains whether Mike's step is correct or incorrect?
PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE 30 POINTS AND A BRAINLIEST
A- It is incorrect because the length of the unknown sides is the square root of 289.
B- It is incorrect because the length of the unknown side is the square root of 41,761
C-It is correct because the length of the unknown side is the difference of the lengths of the sides
D- It is correct because the length of the unknown side is the difference of the squares of the side
