Question 549178
According to Pythagoras theorem, if the measures of the legs of a right triangle are 8 and 12, the measure of the hypotenuse is
{{{sqrt(8^2+12^2)=sqrt(64+144)=sqrt(208)=sqrt(16*13)=sqrt(16)*sqrt(13)=4sqrt(13)}}} (about 14.4)
According to Pythagoras theorem, if the measures of a leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle are 8 and 12, the measure of the missing leg is
{{{sqrt(12^2-8^2) =sqrt(144-64)=sqrt(80) =sqrt(16*5)=sqrt(16)*sqrt(5)=4sqrt(5)}}} (about 8.9)
