If one side of a right triangle is 12 feet long and the hypotenuse of the triangle is 7, find the length of the other side of the right triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth.
I might give you a brainliest if your answer is correct and you have a good explanation.
the formula for finding a hypotenuse is [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]. We can rearrange that to get: [tex]c^2 - b^2 = a^2[/tex]. So: 49 + b^2 = 144. We get the square root of 95, AKA around 9.74.
