Question 486606: A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 20 meters and a leg of 10√3 meters. How long, in meters, is the other leg of the triangle?
I dont want the answer, i just want to know how to find the other leg. Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For this you would just use a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + b^2 = 20^2
173.2 + b^2 = 400
b^2 = 226.8
b = 15.06
(15.06)^2 + 10^2 = 20^2
226.8 ft+ 173.2 ft = 400 ft.
400 ft = 400 ft. This does check.
