Question

What is the length of the missing leg?

Answer 1

b = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

you use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

so we do 32^2 + x^2 = 40^2 then solve

32 squared is 1024 and 40 square is 1600 so you minus the 2 and get 576 then you square root 576 and you finally answer is 24
