Right triangles and the Pythagoras theorem

According to the question;

  • We are required to determine the length, in centimetres of the other leg of the right triangle.

By the Pythagoras theorem;

  • Hyp² = Opp² + Adj²

Hence, It follows that;

  • 120² = 80² + X²

  • x² = 14400-6400

  • x² = 80,000

Find the square root of both sides of the equation;

  • x = √80,000

x = 89.44 centimeters
