The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 14 centimeters long. One of the legs of the triangle is 6 centimeters. What is the length of the triangle's other leg?

Answer :

bcalle
Use Pythagorean theorem to solve.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
6^2 + b ^2 = 14^2
36 + b^2 = 196
Subtract 36 from both sides.
b^2 = 196-36
b^2 = 160
Take the square root of both sides.
b = sqrt 160
As a decimal
b = 12.649
As a simplified radical
b = 4sqrt10

The length of the triangle's other leg is 12.649.

What is triangle?

Triangle is "3-dimensional shape with 3-sides, 3-vertices and 3 angles".

According to the question,

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 14 centimeters long. One of the legs of the triangle is 6 centimeters in order to find the other length of the triangle.

Pythagoras theorem, a² + b² = c²

Let  a = 6; b = other length of the triangle; c = 14  

6² + b² = (14)²

       b² = (14)² - 6²

       b² = 196 - 36

       b² = 160

       b = √160

       b = 4√10

       b = 4(3.163)

       b = 12.649

Hence, the length of the triangle's other leg is 12.649.
