BRAINLIEST FOR WHO EVER GET THIS RIGHT triangle has a leg of 6 yards and a hypotenuse of 8 yards. What is the length of the other leg?

Enter your answer, as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth, in the box.
yd

Respuesta :

using the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2
 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
 so a = 6 and c = 8

lets solve for b

6^2 + b^2 = 8^2

36 + b^2 = 64

b^2 = 64 - 36
b^2 = 28

b = sqrt(28)
b = 5.29
b = 5.3 yards



Answer:

It's 5.3 yd, hope this helps
