Answer:

20

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle

a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

21^2 + b^2 = 29^2

441+b^2 =841

Subtract 441 from each side

441 +b^2 -441 = 841-441

b^2 = 400

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(400)

b =20
