A right triangle has a side length of 15 feet and a hypotenuse of 17 feet. What is the length of the missing leg? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

the correct answe is the othe leg is 12 cm long.

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Pythagorean theorem:

17^2 = 15^2 + X^2

289 = 225 - X^2

X^2 = 64

X = 8 feet

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)

i don't even know man. edge inuity be messing with us. i had to ask a question too.
