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
]
Here, ( a ) and ( b ) are the legs of the triangle, and ( c ) is the hypotenuse.
If you have specific values for ( a ) and ( c ), plug them into the equation to find ( b ). Rearranging gives:
[
b^2 = c^2 – a^2
]
Then take the square root of both sides:
[
b = sqrt{c^2 – a^2}
]
Make sure to round your answer to the nearest tenth.
If you provide the values for ( a ) and ( c ), I can help you calculate ( b ) more specifically!
