What is the length of the missing leg? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
a = ______ centimeters
To find the length of the missing leg, we typically need to use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where (c) is the hypotenuse and (a) and (b) are the legs.
1. Identify the known lengths: If you have the length of one leg (let’s say (b)) and the length of the hypotenuse ((c)), you can rearrange the equation to find (a) (the missing leg):
[ a^2 = c^2 – b^2 ]
2. Substitute the values you have into the equation.
3. Calculate (a^2), then take the square root to find (a).
4. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Please provide the specific values for the known lengths so we can proceed with the calculation!
