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

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 ]

where:

– ( a ) and ( b ) are the legs of the triangle,

– ( c ) is the hypotenuse.

First, rearrange the formula to solve for ( b ):

[ b = sqrt{c^2 – a^2} ]

You need the lengths of the other leg ( a ) and the hypotenuse ( c ). Plug those values into the formula, calculate, and round to the nearest tenth to find the length of ( b ). If you provide the values for ( a ) and ( c ), I can help you calculate ( b ) specifically!
