Well, this is a Pythagorean theorem problem. A^2 + B^2 = C^2, where C^2 is equal to the hypotenuse. 8 squared equals 64, so c^2 = 64 cm. The other leg can be represented by A^2, which is 36 cm. 36 + ? = 64. 64 - 36 = 28, so B^2 equals 28. Now, to find the measurement of the other leg, we need the square root of 28. The square root of 28 is 5.3 cm.
Your final answer is 5.3 cm.
