Determine the red line-segment by using the Pythagorean theorem:
answer: pythagorean theorem problem 2
1. step: given/wanted
hypotenuse: 15,1 m
leg 2: 8,7 m
wanted: leg 1?
2. step: calculate
leg 1 = √(hypotenuse² – leg 2²)
leg 1 = √(15,1² – 8,7²)
leg 1 = 12,34 m
3. step: answer
The leg 1 is determined with12,34 m.
