Question

What is the length of the unknown leg of

the right triangle rounded to the nearest
tenth of a meter?
11 m
?
42.8 m

Answer 1

The length of the unknown leg is 5.66 yards

Explanation:

`Hypotenuse^2=opposite^2-adjacent^2`

`Hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2`

`Hyp=√(42.8)`
`yards`

`Opp=√(11)`
`yards`

`Adj=?`

`Adj^2=Hyp^2-opp^2`

`=(√(42.8) )^2-(√(11) )^2`

`=42.8-11`

`=31.8` →
`32`

`Adj^2=32`

`Adj=√(32)`

= 5.66 yards
