Answer:

a =2.2

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2+2^2 = 3^2

a^2 +4 = 9

a^2 = 9-4

a^2 = 5

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(5)

a = sqrt(5)

a=2.236067977

To the nearest tenth

a =2.2
