Question

If the equation 18^2 + b^2 = 30^2
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.

The triangle is a right triangle with a missing side of 34.99.

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

Answer 1

Solve for b: b^2 = 30^2 − 18^2 = 900 − 324 = 576, so b = 24. Thus it's a right triangle with the missing leg length 24.
