You can use the pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2=c^2
36^2+77^2=c^2
1296+5929=c^2
C^2=7225
C=-_/7225
C=85

Answer:

c = 85 in is the answer.

Explanation:

a = 36 in

b = 77 in

c = ?

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

a² + b² = c²

36² + 77² = c²

1296 + 5929 = c²

7225 = c²

c = 85 in

∴ c = 85 in is the length of the missing leg.
