Answer: a = 18

Explanation:

The pythagorean theorem says that the sum of the square of the two legs of a triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

The two legs are 80 and a, and the hypotenuse is 82 which gives us

80² + a² = 82²

a² = 324

a = 18.

Answer:

18

Explanation:

a² + b² = c²

a² + 80² = 82²

a² + 6400 = 6724

a² = 324

a = √324

a = 18
