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

( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 )

Where:

– ( a ) is the length of one leg,

– ( b ) is the length of the other leg,

– ( c ) is the length of the hypotenuse.

If you provide me with the lengths of ( b ) and ( c ), I can help you calculate the length of ( a ). Please share those values!
