Answer:
The length of other leg is 2.6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a right triangle has a leg of 3 feet and a hypotenuse of 4 feet.
we have to find the length of the other leg.
As given a right angled triangle
∴ By Pythagoras theorem
[tex](Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Height)^2[/tex]
[tex]4^2=3^2+(other \thinspace leg)^2[/tex]
[tex]16=9+(other \thinspace leg)^2[/tex]
[tex](other \thinspace leg)^2=7[/tex]
[tex]Other\thinspace leg=\sqrt7=2.6457..\sim 2.6[/tex]
The length of other leg is 2.6 feet
