The hypotenuse of a triangle is 37 millimeters long. One of the legs is 24.5 millimeters long. What is the measure of the missing leg? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Respuesta :

Answer: 27.7 millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing leg be represented by x.

We will use Pythagoras formula to solve this. The measure of the missing leg will be:

x² = 37² - 24.5²

x² = 1369 - 600.25

x² = 768.75

x = ✓768.75

x = 27.7

The missing leg is 27.7 millimeter
