In a right triangle, one leg (a) is 10 cm, and its hypotenuse (c) is 26 cm. Find b?

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, so we can use Pythagorean Theorem.

a and b are the legs, while c is the hypotenuse.

One leg is 10 centimeters. The hypotenuse is 26 centimeters. Therefore,

Solve the exponents.

Subtract 100 from both sides of the equation.

Take the square root of both sides of the equation.

The other leg of the triangle is equal to 24 centimeters.

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6
