The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 8.2 inches long and one of the legs is 6.4 inches long. What is the length of the other leg?

5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation I will use the formula a²+b²=c². For these terms I will represent the missing value as the variable a. The equation should be renewed as this: a²+6.4²=8.2², simplified: a²+40.96=67.24. I will now subtract 40.96 from 67.24 to get "a" by itself, as of which now I have a²=26.28. Next I square root both values: √a² =√26.28. The final answer is "a"= 5.1264022471905, otherwise, when rounded, "5.1". Hopefully this helps. A word of advice, when a problem gives you two values for a triangle, always refer to the equation a²+b²=c², as you will always find the missing value. Also remember that the legs cannot be of greater value than the hypotenuse which is the diagonal line. The hypotenuse is always "c".

it is probably the graph on the bottom right.
