Answer:

the actual answer would be 7.14 for leg b, but if you round it you will get 7.14 same answer ^^

Explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the answer for leg b, you square 7 which will get you 49. then you square 10 which will get you 100. then you subtract 100 - 49 = 51. then you find the square root of
√(51\\) = 7.14

the formula for this will be - a^2 + b^2 = c^2
