Answer :
30 inches
Explanation:
To determine one of the side lengths of a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean formula :
a² + b² = c²
b = 16 in
c = 34 in
a² + 16² = 34²
a² + 256 = 1.156
a² = 1.156 - 256
a² = 900
a = √900
a = 30 in

Answer:
hypotenuse ( c²) = a² + b²
- assume you're given the side a, find b:
b² = c² - a²
b² = (34)² - (16) ²
b² = 1156 - 256
b² = 900
b = √ 900
b = 30
therefore, the other leg is 30 inches.
