If the length of the hypotenuse is 10 m and its base leg is 6 m, what is the length of its remaining leg?
1. a = 12 m
2.a = 8 m
3.a = 9 m
4.a = 10 m

a=8m

Step-by-step explanation:

a²+b²=c²

where a= 6m,c=10m

6²+b²=10²

b²=100-36

b²=64

b=√64=8

2. m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let = length of the remaining leg

(using the Pythagorean theorem)

m

∴ The length of the remaining leg is m.

Hope this helps :)
