Answer:

The answer to your question is   b = 11.31 cm  or   8\sqrt{2} cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

hypotenuse = 18 cm

one leg = 14 cm

second leg = ?

Process

1.- Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem

                 c² = a² + b²

c = hypotenuse

a = longer leg

b= shorter leg

2.- Substitution

                        18² = 14² + b²

-Solve for b

                         b² = 18² - 14²

-Simplify

                         b² = 324 - 196

                         b² = 128

-Find the prime factors of 128

                          128   2

                            64  2

                             32  2

                             16  2

                              8  2

                              4  2

                              2  2

                               1

          128 = 2⁶2¹                                    

-Result

                         b = 11.31   or   8\sqrt{2}
