To solve for the other leg, you need to use Pythagorean theory.

The theory states that C^2 = A^2 + B^2

In your case, you have to solve for B.
C = 40 (hypotenuse)   A = 24 (leg 1)

The formula rewritten for B is b= \sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2} }

Now, you can solve.

b= \sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2} }

b= \sqrt{40^{2}-24^2 }

b = \sqrt{1600 - 576}

b = \sqrt{1024}

b = 32

Therefore, B = 32.

So the second leg is 32 feet.

The measures of two angles of a triangle are 61 and 84 degrees. Find the measure of the third angle.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The measure of the third angle is 35°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the three angles of a triangle is always 180°.

Let the measure of the third angle be x.

∴ 61° + 84° + x = 180°

           145 + x =180°

                    x = 180 - 145

                    x = 35°
