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

Now, you can solve.

Therefore, B = 32.
So the second leg is 32 feet.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:a = m + (p-1)*d
b = m + (q-1)*d
c = m + (r-1)*d
p(b-c) = p*(q-r)*d
q(c-a) = q*(r-p)*d
r(a-b) = r*(p-q)*d
p(b-c)+q(c-a)+r(a-b)
= p*(q-r)*d + q*(r-p)*d +r*(p-q)*d
= (pq-pr+qr-pq+rp-qr)*d
= 0*d = 0
So i prove p(b-c)+q(c-a)+r(a-b)=0 hope this is helpfull
You have a line:
y=mx+b (slope-intercepted form)
m=slope of this line.
The slope of a line perpendicular to that given line will be: ´"m´"
m´=-1/m.
For example:
y=8x+3
m=8
The solpe fo a line perpendicular to "y=8x+3" is:
m`=-1/8
I am not really that great with that but try googling it, it should pop up somehwere, sorry in advance.
