is found to be true, what do we know about the triangle?(1 point)

The triangle is a right triangle, and the hypotenuse is 18.

The triangle is a right triangle, and the legs are 30 and 24.

Answer 1

Correct choice: The triangle is a right triangle with a missing leg length of 24.

Reason: 18^2 + b^2 = 30^2 → 324 + b^2 = 900 → b^2 = 576 → b = 24. Thus b is the other leg (not the hypotenuse).
