Question

Pythagorean Theorem with an Unknown Leg

Answer 1

Answer: 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

If leg b is unknown, then. b = √(c² - a²)

b = √(6² - 2²)

b = √(36 - 4)

b = √32

b = 5.656

b = 5.7

Answer 2

$b {}^{2} + 2 {}^{2} = 6 {}^{2} \\ b {}^{2} = 6 {}^{2} - 2 {}^{2} \\ b {}^{2} = 36 - 4 \\ b {}^{2} = 32 \\ b = \sqrt{32}$

Answer 32
