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, 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!
