The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 8.2 inches long and one of the legs is 6.4 inches long. What is the length of the other leg?

5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation I will use the formula a²+b²=c². For these terms I will represent the missing value as the variable a. The equation should be renewed as this: a²+6.4²=8.2², simplified: a²+40.96=67.24. I will now subtract 40.96 from 67.24 to get "a" by itself, as of which now I have a²=26.28. Next I square root both values: √a² =√26.28. The final answer is "a"= 5.1264022471905, otherwise, when rounded, "5.1". Hopefully this helps. A word of advice, when a problem gives you two values for a triangle, always refer to the equation a²+b²=c², as you will always find the missing value. Also remember that the legs cannot be of greater value than the hypotenuse which is the diagonal line. The hypotenuse is always "c".
