⓵ The pythagorean theorem is calculated by using this formula : a² + b² = c²

“a” is the length of one of the legs
“b” is the length of the other leg
“c” is the length of the hypotenuse

⓶ Now that you have the formula, replace the letters in the formula with the information that you have :

8² + b² = 10²

⓷ Now that this is done, you need to isolate the “b²” in order to find the length of the other leg of the triangle :

8² + b² = 10²
-8² -8²

↓

b² = 36
√b² √36

↓

b = 6

So the final answer is : the length of the other leg of the triangle is ↠ 6 feet

I really hope this helped, if there’s anything just let me know! ☻

The two toy store owners agree to specialize and to trade 30 puzzles for 10 puppets. The terms of trade are still 3 puzzles for
likoan [24]

Based on the exchange rate, at the end of the trade, Lewis will have 31 puppets and 2 puzzles left over while Geppeto will have 158 puzzles and 4 puppets left over.

<h3>What is the exchange rate of puzzles for puppets?</h3>

The exchange rate of puzzles for puppets is 3 to 1.

Geppeto has 20 puppets to exchange for puzzles.

Lewis has 50 puzzles to exchange for puppets.

Number of times Lewis can exchange puzzles for puppets = 50/3 = 16 times.

Lewis will get 16 puppets in exchange for 48 puzzles.

Therefore;

Lewis will have 16 + 25 puppets = 31 puppets and 2 puzzles left over

Geppeto will have 48 + 100 puzzles = 158 puzzles and 4 puppets left over.

in conclusion, the exchange rate determines the how many puzzles and puppets will each one have after they complete their trade.
