A right triangle has a leg length of 10 meters and a hypotenuse that is 26 meters. What is the length of the other leg?

The length of the other leg is 24 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, let's think about the equation that gives us the hypotenuse in the first place, the Pythagorean theorem (which only works on right triangles!).

The a^2 is one side of the triangle that we know and the b^2 is the other, the c^2 is the hypotenuse we are trying to solve.

Seeing that in this question, we can put 10, in the place of a^2, and 26 in the place of c^2

That's what we have down the information we have, but now we'll have to do some rearranging to solve for the other leg's length. First let's square the numbers, 10^2 = 100 and 26^2= 676!

Now we need to get b^2 by itself so we can solve it! Let's subtract 100 from both sides to do so,

Now we got b^2 = 576!

But that's not our answer we have to square root it to get rid of the squared part!

and when we do that we get,

The length of the other leg is 24 meters!

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
