a^2+b^2 = c^2, so a = (c^2-b^2)^1/2

a = ((6.1)^2-(1.1)^2)^1/2 = 6

Answer:

6 yards.

Explanation:

You can find this answer by using the Pythagorean theorem. Because c in the equation will always stand for the hypotenuse, the longest side, it's easier to fill in the blanks with the stuff given to you.

In this case, 1.1^2 + a^2 = 6.1^2

If you simplify, the answer should be 6 yards.
