Aright 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.

We know that
in a right triangle
applying the Pythagoras theorem
c²=a²+b²> b²=c²-a²
where
c is the hypotenuse> c=8 yd
a and b are the legs of the triangle
a=6 yd
b=?
b²=c²-a²> b²=8²-6²> b²=64-36> b²=28> b=√28---> 5.29 yd

the answer is
5.3 yd
