To find the missing leg of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let's denote the missing leg as x.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can write the equation:
24^2 + x^2 = 25^2
Simplifying, we have:
576 + x^2 = 625
Subtracting 576 from both sides:
x^2 = 625 - 576
x^2 = 49
Taking the square root of both sides (since x represents a length, it cannot be negative):
x = √49
Therefore, the missing leg is 7 mm.
