SOLUTION: [ the hypotenuse of a triangle is 14 in. if the base of the triangle is 2 in determine the length of the remaining side ]

Question 816556: [ the hypotenuse of a triangle is 14 in. if the base of the triangle is 2 in determine the length of the remaining side ]
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
h = sqrt( b^2 + L^2 )
14 = sqrt( 2^2 + L^2 )
14^2 = 4 + L^2
L^2 = 196 - 4
L^2 = 192

L = 13.856406 in
