Answer:
b = 7.14cm
Explanation:
For this question, we need to use the pythagorean theorem, since it is a right triangle, and we know two sides. The formula for the Pythagorean theorem is c^2 = a^2 + b^2.
1. a = 5.8cm so a^2 will be 5.8 x 5.8 which is 33.64
2. c = 9.2cm so c^2 will be 9.2 x 9.2 which is 84.64
3. If we add these to our Pythagorean equation, it will be 84.64 = 33.64 + b^2. --> 51 = b^2 --> b = 7.141428....
4. Since we need to round it to two decimal places, b will be 7.14.
