Question

Someone please help me answer this

Answer 1

B= 30
a2+b2=c2
72^2+b^2 = 78^2
5184+b^2 = 6084
b2 = 900
b = 30

Answer 2

Answer:

b = 30 km is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 72 km

b = ?

c = 78 km

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

72² + b² = 78²

5184 + b² = 6084

b² = 6084 - 5184

b² = 900

b = 30 km

∴ b = 30 km is the length of the missing leg
