A triangle has a hypotenuse that is 60 inches, and the length of one of its legs is 36 inches. What is the length, in inches, of the other leg to make this a right triangle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

think of the a squared plus b squared equals c squared. plug in the 36 in either b or a. then plug in the 60 in c's spot. solve and get 48. you can check the answer by solving 48 squared plus 36 squared equals 60 squared. both sides are equal and both come out to be the 3600
