What is the length of the missing leg? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.
b = ____ meters
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 lengths of the legs
– ( c ) is the length of the hypotenuse.
If you have the lengths of one leg and the hypotenuse, you can rearrange the equation to solve for ( b ):
[ b = sqrt{c^2 – a^2} ]
Please provide the measurements of the other leg (a) and the hypotenuse (c) so we can calculate the missing leg length. If you have those values, simply plug them into the equation to find ( b ). Don’t forget to round your answer to the nearest tenth!
