The ratio of the one leg of
the right triangle to the other
leg of the right triangle must
be 8:7. Determine the
greatest length of one leg of
the right triangle given the
other leg of the right triangle
is 10.5 feet.


Sagot :

The legs of the triangle are 6.91 feet, 7.9 feet, and 10.5 feet.

What is a Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the sum of two squares equals the squared of the longest side.

The Pythagoras theorem formula is given as

H² = P² + B²

The ratio of the one leg of the right triangle to the other leg of the right triangle must be 8:7.

Let x be one leg and y be another leg. Then we have

x/y = 8/7

   y = 7x/8

Then the greatest length of one leg of the right triangle given the other leg of the right triangle is 10.5 feet will be

 10.5² = x² + (7x/8)²

110.25 = x² + 49x²/64

110.25 = 113x²/64

      x² = 62.44

        x = 7.902

        x ≅ 7.9 feet

Then the other leg will be

y = 7.9 x 7 / 8

y = 6.91
