A leg of a right triangle is 16 inches. The hypotenuse is 34 inches. How long is the other leg?

hypotenuse ( c²) = a² + b²

- assume you're given the side a, find b:

b² = c² - a²

b² = (34)² - (16) ²

b² = 1156 - 256

b² = 900

b = √ 900

b = 30

therefore, the other leg is 30 inches.

Answer :

30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine one of the side lengths of a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean formula :

a² + b² = c²

b = 16 in

c = 34 in

a² + b² = c²

a² + 16² = 34²

a² + 256 = 1.156

a² = 1.156 - 256

a² = 900

a = √900

a = 30 in

answer: about 22.67

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .
