By using the pythagoras theorum you can find an unknown leg of right angled triangle.

Hypotenuse side is in the front of the 90 degree angle and other two sides can be taken as base and perpendicular, so formula goes as :-

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2 + (Perpendicular)^2

H^2 = B^2 + P^2

Answer:

b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$(6b - 7) \degree + 90 \degree + 61 \degree = 180 \degree \\ \\ (6b - 7) \degree + 151 \degree = 180 \degree \\ \\ (6b - 7) \degree = 180 \degree - 151 \degree\\ \\ (6b - 7) \degree = 29 \degree \\ \\ 6b - 7 = 29 \\ \\ 6b = 29 + 7 \\ \\ 6b = 36 \\ \\ b = \frac{36}{6} \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{ b = 6}}$
