Answer:
The other side = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] units
Step-by-step explanation:
A right triangle has a side of length [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] units and;
the hypotenuse is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
According to Pythagorean theorem,
a² + b² = c² , where a and b are the two legs of a triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
Lets say a² = [tex](\frac{1}{4}) ^2[/tex] and c² = ([tex](\frac{1}{3} )^2[/tex]
b² = c² - a²
b² = [tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{144}[/tex]
So b = [tex]\sqrt{1/144}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] units.
So the other side = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] units.
