A right triangle has a leg of 6 and a hypotenuse of 19. What is the other leg

5 or 18.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the unknown leg x

Using the Pythagoras rule

19^2 = 6^2 + x^2

361 = 36 + x^2

subtract 36 from both sides

361 - 36 = x^2

325 = x^2

Take the square root of both sides

=

= x

x = 5  = 18.03

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
