<p>What is the third integer in a Pythagorean triple if a = 5 and b = 12?</p>
26
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
25
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
27
<p>Use the formula: c = √(a² + b²)</p>
26
<p>Use the formula: c = √(a² + b²)</p>
28
<p>c = √(5² + 12²) = √(25 + 144) = √169</p>
27
<p>c = √(5² + 12²) = √(25 + 144) = √169</p>
29
<p>c = 13</p>
28
<p>c = 13</p>
30
<p>Therefore, the Pythagorean triple is (5, 12, 13).</p>

<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
37
<p>Use the formula: c = √(a² + b²)</p>
36
<p>Use the formula: c = √(a² + b²)</p>
38
<p>c = √(7² + 24²) = √(49 + 576) = √625</p>
37
<p>c = √(7² + 24²) = √(49 + 576) = √625</p>
39
<p>c = 25</p>
38
<p>c = 25</p>
40
<p>Therefore, the Pythagorean triple is (7, 24, 25).</p>

<p>If one leg of a right triangle is 9 and the hypotenuse is 15, what is the length of the other leg?</p>
56
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
55
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
57
<p>Use the formula: b = √(c² - a²)</p>
56
<p>Use the formula: b = √(c² - a²)</p>
58
<p>b = √(15² - 9²) = √(225 - 81) = √144 b = 12</p>
57
<p>b = √(15² - 9²) = √(225 - 81) = √144 b = 12</p>
