The length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 centimeters and the length of one leg is 12 centimeters. The length of the other leg is:

1) 8
2) 16
3) 32
4) 544


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras theorem state that c²=a²+b²

let x represent the length of the other leg

(20cm)²=(12cm)²+x²

400cm²=144cm²+x²

400cm²-144cm²=x²

256cm²=x²

√256cm²=√x²

16cm=x
