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 that a² + b² = c², where c is the length of the hypotenuse (the longest side).
1. Identify the lengths of the other two sides (legs) of the triangle. Let’s say you know the lengths of one leg (a) and the hypotenuse (c).
2. Rearrange the equation to solve for b: b² = c² – a².
3. Substitute the known values into the equation.
4. Calculate b², then take the square root to find b.
5. Round your final answer to the nearest tenth.
If you have specific values for a and c, please share them so we can calculate the length of the missing leg together!
