The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 9 cm, and the shorter leg is 9 cm. Find the length of the other leg.

9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to imagine this right triangle, you would find it to be a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle. Perhaps the " shorter leg " piece of information was present to trick you, considering that the legs are congruent by converse to base angle theorem.

How is this triangle a 45 - 45 - 90? In such a triangle, the legs can be posed as x cm, as the base angles are congruent ( 45 and 45 ), thus the legs of the triangle are congruent as well. The hypotenuse would be x√2, and as we can see -

If legs = x, Hypotenuse = x√2 = 9√2

Thus, the length of the other leg is 9 centimeters ( 9 cm )

Hope that helps!

what?

step-by-step explanation:

what do you need with. i love quadrants. can you tell me ?

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
