The hypotenuse is 13 cm, one of the legs is 12c, and the perimeter is 30cm. Find another leg

By the condition of the problem, this is a triangle.

The perimeter of any triangle is equal to the sum of all sides of the triangle.

P = a + b + c

We know the perimeter, hypotenuse and leg.

P = 30 cm; b = 12 cm; c = 13 cm.

30 = a + 12 + 13.

30 = a + 25.

a = 5 cm.

Answer: the second leg is 5 cm.
