Answer:
3
Explanation:
The formula for the Pythagorean's Theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so first you know that hypotenuse is the longest side or the opposite side from which the right angle is which in this case is the 6 so you are looking for a leg rather then the hypotenuse which means we are going to be doing subtraction.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
√27^2 - b^2 = 6^2
27 - b^2 = 36
-27 -27
b^2 = 9
b^2 = √9
b = 3
