So the length will be 18^2-4^2 all rooted. 18 square is 324 and 4 square is 16 and 324-16 is 308 so the answer will be the root of 308 or 2 root 77, at least that is what I think.
Answer:
The length is 17.6 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a right triangle with a leg of 4 units and of hypotenuse 18 units.
we have to find the length of other leg.
Using Pythagoras theorem;
[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Height^2[/tex]
The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 18 units, and one of the leg is 4 units.
Let x be the other leg which we have to find out.
Substitute these in above formula we have;
⇒ [tex]18^2=4^2+x^2[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x^2=324-16=308[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x=\sqrt{308}=17.5499\sim 17.6 units[/tex]
Therefore, the other leg of the right triangle is 17.6 units.
