FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a right triangle has sides of lengths 5 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Back

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: c² = 5² + 12²; c² = 25 + 144; c² = 169; c = 13.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

In a right triangle, if one leg is 8 and the hypotenuse is 10, what is the length of the other leg?

Back

Using the Pythagorean Theorem: c² = a² + b²; 10² = 8² + b²; 100 = 64 + b²; b² = 36; b = 6.
