In a right angle, the altitude to a 6ft hypotenuse. Find the length of the altitude and each leg.

a=3.6 and b=4.8

Step-by-step explanation:(a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)

Where c is hypotenuse is equal to 6. A right triangle is also known as a 3,4,5 triangle where the 2 legs are 3 and 4 and hypotenuse is 5. Find the factor in size difference by dividing your hypotenuse of 6 by the hypotenuse of 5 you get 1.2. Now multiply the 3 and 4 by 1 2 to get your answers of 3.6 and 4.8.

To check work simply plug in your legs as a and b

(3.6^2)+(4.8^2)=(6^2)

(12.96)+(23.04)=(36)
