Chapter 8.3, Problem 15PPS

To determine

The value of leg length.

Answer to Problem 15PPS

  $l=\frac{11\sqrt{2}}{2}$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Hypotenuse = 11

Calculation:

The value of leg length will be:

  $\begin{array}{l}h=l\sqrt{2}\\ 11=\sqrt{2}l\\ l=\frac{11}{\sqrt{2}}\\ l=\frac{11}{\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}\\ l=\frac{11\sqrt{2}}{2}\end{array}$
