11. Look at the right triangle shown below. Which best represents the value of b?
24
12
b
A 1432
B 12
C 7720
DV36

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given right triangle,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

From the given triangle,

Measure of hypotenuse = 24

Measure of leg 1 = 12

Measure of leg 2 = b

(24)² = (12)² + b²

576 = 144 + b²

b² = 576 - 144

b = √432

Therefore, Option A will be the correct option.
