What is the length of the missing leg? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. b = ___ feet

To find the length of the missing leg (b) in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states:

( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 )

Here, ( a ) is one leg, ( b ) is the missing leg, and ( c ) is the hypotenuse.

1. If you have the lengths of the other leg and the hypotenuse, plug those values into the formula.
2. Rearrange the equation to solve for ( b ):

( b = sqrt{c^2 – a^2} )

3. Calculate the value and round it to the nearest tenth.

If you provide the lengths of the known sides (a and c), I can help you find the missing leg’s length!
