The Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 = c^2 - b^2 where a and b = legs and c = hypotenuse

a^2 = 100^2 - 60^2

a^2 =10000 - 3600

a^2 = 6400

a= √6400

a = 80

Answer

The length of the other leg = 80 units

For this, we will be using the pythagorean theorem, which is leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2 . Since we have the hypotenuse and one of the legs, we can solve for the other leg. Our equation will look like this: x^2+60^2=100^2

Firstly, solve the exponents: x^2+3600=10000

Next, subtract 3600 on both sides: x^2=6400

Next, square root both sides, and your answer will be x = 80 units

Explanation:

A logarithm in one base is a constant multiple of a logarithm in any other base. Any "order of ..." specification does not include the applicable constant multiplier or the smaller order terms that may be required for an exact computation.

The concept of "order of" is similar to the concept of the degree of a polynomial. Knowing the degree of a polynomial tells you something about the "end behavior" as the function argument gets large. The specifics of the scale factor and lower-degree terms become largely irrelevant.
