the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 25 cm and the shorter leg is 15cm find the length of the other leg

Using Pythagorean Therom, we know that the longest side or 25, when squared is equal to the height squared plus the width squared or[tex]A^{2} + B^{2} =C^{2} [/tex] where C is the Hypotenuse. [tex]25^{2}-15^{2} =400 or 20^{2} [/tex]
