Question

Find the length of the leg x

Answer 1

Answer:

15.23

Step-by-step explanation:

That is the missing side.

To find the answer, we need the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Let c be the missing side:

c = a2 + b2 = 142 + 62 ≈ 15.23155

C is equal to 15.23155

Answer 2

Answer:

12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras :

c² = a² + b²

c is the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90 degree angle).

a and b are the side legs.

so, here we have

14² = 6² + b²

196 = 36 + b²

160 = b²

b = sqrt(160) = sqrt(16×10) = 4×sqrt(10) = 12.65
