In the ABC rectangle, the hypotenuse is 1 cm, the leg is 0.6 cm. Find another leg.

If the triangle is rectangular, then we can use the Pythagorean theorem: the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs. Let us denote the unknown leg by a.

1 * 1 = 0.6 * 0.6 + a * a

a * a = 1 – 0.36

a * a = 0.64

a = 0.8

Answer: the other leg is 0.8 cm
