Answer:

The length of other leg is 4.58

Explanation:

It is given that:

One leg of triangle = 10

Hypotenuse = 11

Using Pythagorean theorem,


a^2+b^2=c^2\\(10)^2 + b^2 = (11)^2\\100+b^2 = 121 \\b^2 = 121-100 \\b^2 = 21

Taking square root on both sides


√(b^2)=√(21)\\b=4.58

Therefore,

The length of other leg is 4.58
