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

Answer:

The length of the unknown leg is 5.66 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

$Hypotenuse^2=opposite^2-adjacent^2$

$Hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2$

$Hyp=\sqrt{42.8}$ $yards$

$Opp=\sqrt{11}$ $yards$

$Adj=?$

$Adj^2=Hyp^2-opp^2$

$=(\sqrt{42.8} )^2-(\sqrt{11} )^2$

$=42.8-11$

$=31.8$ → $32$

$Adj^2=32$

$Adj=\sqrt{32}$

= 5.66 yards
