Question 927321:  if a right triangle has a hypotenuse of 12 cm and one leg that measures 9 cm, what is the length of the other leg? 
 
 Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! h = sqrt( aa + bb ) 
12 = sqrt( 9*9 + bb ) 
12^2 = sqrt( 9*9 + bb )^2 
144 = 81 + bb 
bb = 144 - 81 
b = sqrt( 144 - 81 ) 
b = 7.9372539332 cm
