What is the length of the missing leg? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth. b = _____ miles

To determine the length of the missing leg in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that (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 have one leg of the triangle (let’s say (a)) and the hypotenuse ((c)), you can rearrange the formula to find (b):

[ b^2 = c^2 – a^2 ]

[ b = sqrt{c^2 – a^2} ]

Please plug in the values you have for (a) and (c) to calculate (b), and round it to the nearest tenth. If you provide specific values, I can help you with the calculation!
