The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 26 millimeters. one leg of the right triangle is 10 millimeters. what us the length of the other leg?
a.) 18 millimeters
b.) 20 millimeters
c.) 24 millimeters
d.) 28 millimeters

C

Use A^2+B^2=C^2

10*10+B^2=26*26

100+B^2=676

B^2=676-100

B^2`=576

B=24

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
