1. **Problem statement:** We have a right triangle with one leg measuring 7 cm and the hypotenuse measuring 25 cm. We need to find:
a) The length of the other leg.
b) The area of the triangle.
c) The perimeter of the triangle.
2. **Formula used:** For a right triangle with legs $a$ and $b$, and hypotenuse $c$, the Pythagorean theorem states:
$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$
The area $A$ of a right triangle is:
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times a \times b$$
The perimeter $P$ is:
$$P = a + b + c$$
3. **Find the other leg (b):**
Given $a = 7$ cm and $c = 25$ cm, substitute into the Pythagorean theorem:
$$7^2 + b^2 = 25^2$$
$$49 + b^2 = 625$$
$$b^2 = 625 - 49 = 576$$
$$b = \sqrt{576} = 24 \text{ cm}$$
4. **Find the area:**
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 7 \times 24 = \frac{1}{2} \times 168 = 84 \text{ cm}^2$$
5. **Find the perimeter:**
$$P = 7 + 24 + 25 = 56 \text{ cm}$$
**Final answers:**
- Other leg length: $24$ cm
- Area: $84$ cm$^2$
- Perimeter: $56$ cm
