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!
