The hypotenuse of a right triangle is twice the length of one of the legs. The length of the other leg is 192⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯√ feet. Find the lengths of the leg and hypotenuse.

Answer 1

d = 2s

(2s)^2 = (s)^2 + 192

3s^2 = 192

s = 192/3 = 64

s = sqr64 = 8 feet = length of the other side

hypotenuse = 16 feet
