Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for side b:
[tex]c^2 = a^2 + b^2 \Rightarrow b^2 = c^2 - a^2[/tex]
or
[tex]b = \sqrt{c^2 - a^2} = \sqrt{(6\:\text{m})^2 - (4\:\text{m})^2}[/tex]
[tex]\:\:\:\:= 4.47\:\text{m}[/tex]
Answer: 2√5 or 4.47213595
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
(a and b are the measures of the legs and c is the measure of the hypotenuse.)
Let's solve for a (the length of the other leg)
*I hope that m is not a variable and just an abbreviation for meters.
b = 4 m
c = 6 m
a^2 + 4^2 = 6^2
a^2 + 16 = 36
a^2 = √20
a = 2√5 = 4.47213595
