If the length of a leg of a triangle is 39.2 and the area of the triangle is 63 what is the length of the other leg

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of the other leg is [tex]3.21\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I will assume that the triangle is a right triangle

In a right triangle the legs are perpendicular

so

The area of a right triangle is equal to

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(a)(b)[/tex]

where

a and b are the legs of the triangle

In this problem we have

[tex]a=39.2\ units[/tex]

[tex]A=63\ units^{2}[/tex]

substitute the values

[tex]63=\frac{1}{2}(39.2)(b)[/tex]

[tex]126=(39.2)(b)[/tex]

[tex]b=126/(39.2)=3.21\ units[/tex]
