Consider this right triangle with given measures. measures What is the unknown leg length? Pythagorean theorem:a2+b2=c2 122+b2 = 152 144 + b2 = 225 b2 + 81 b = cm

Respuesta :

we have that
a=12 cm
b=?
c=15 cm

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
c²=a²+b²
15²=12²+b²
b²=15²-12²
b²=225-144
b²=81
b=√81
b=9 cm

the answer is
b=9 cm
the anser to the question is b=9
