Question

The leg of a right triangle is 5 units and the hypotenuse is 8 units. What is the length, in units, of the other leg of the triangle?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

by using Pythagoras theorem-

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem

$(hypotenuse)^{2} = (side1) ^{2} + (side2)^{2}$

${8}^{2} = {5}^{2} + (side2) ^{2}$

$64 - 25 = (side2)^{2}$

$(side2) = \sqrt{39}$

Other Leg of right angle of triangle

$= \sqrt{39} \: unit$
