The length of the smaller leg is 3.79
<h3>How to determine the length of the smaller leg?</h3>Represent the smaller leg with x.
So, we have:
-- Pythagoras theorem
This gives
2x^2 = 144/5
Divide by 2
x^2 = 72/5
This gives
x^2 = 14.4
Take the square root
x = 3.79
Hence, the length of the smaller leg is 3.79

Step-by-step explanation:
Pathagory and Theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
(x-3)^2+(x-4)^2=6^2
expand:
2x^2-14x+25=36
2x^2-14x-11=0
x=(\sqrt{71}+7)/2
perimeter=(x-3)+(x-4)+6=2x-1
insert the value for x into 2x-1
+6=perimeter
Hope that helps :)
