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

[

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

]

where (c) is the length of the hypotenuse and (a) and (b) are the lengths of the other two legs.

If you provide the lengths of the other leg (a) and the hypotenuse (c), I can help you solve for the missing leg (b). Please share that information!
