Answer:
The length of the other leg is 1 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
By using the pythagorean theorem
Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²
As given
If the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 2 cm and one leg is √ 3 cm.
Let us assume that the unknown length be x.
Thus
2² = Perpendicular² + Base²
\(4^{2}= (\sqrt{3})^{2} + x^{2}\)
\((\sqrt{3})^{2} = 3\)
4 = 3 + x²
x² = 4 -3
\(x = \sqrt{1}\)
x = 1 cm
Therefore the length of the other leg is 1 cm.
