A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 153 centimeters and a leg of 72 centimeters. What is the length of the other leg? 135 centimeters 134 centimeters 135 meters 174 centimeters
a^2 + b^2 = c^2....where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse 72^2 + b^2 = 153^2 5184 + b^2 = 23409 b^2 = 23409 - 5184 b^2 = 18225 b = sqrt 18225 b = 135 cm <==
