Help me..What is the length of the missing leg? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown is a right triangle, indicated by the little square at the bottom right. When trying to find the length of a missing leg of a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

Pythagorean theorem : a² + b² = c²

Where a and b = legs and c = hypotenuse ( longest side )

We are given the length of the hypotenuse as well as a leg and we need to find the other leg.

Hypotenuse (c) = 45

Leg (a) = 36

To find the length of the other leg we can plug in the given values of the hypotenuse and the leg into the Pythagorean theorem and solve for b

Recall the Pythagorean theorem : a² + b² = c²

a = 36 and c = 45

(36)² + b² = (45)²

simplify exponents : 36² = 1296 and 45² = 2025

1296 + b² = 2025

subtract 1296 from both sides: 1296 - 1296 cancels out and 2025 - 1296 = 729

b² = 729

take the square root of both sides: √(b)² = b and √729 = 27

We're left with b = 27 meaning that the length of the other leg ( or missing side ) is 27

i'm not entirely sure

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
