Question

A right triangle has a leg of 6 yards and a hypotenuse of 8 yards. What is the length of the other leg?

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is 28 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We know that
in a right triangle
c²=a²+b²
where
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs
so
c=8 yd
a=6 yd
b=?
b²=c²-a²------> 8²-6²-----> b²=64-36------> b²=28-------> b=√28 yd

the answer is
the length of the other leg is √28 yd or 5.29 yd
