Answer:
7.48 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :-
And we need to find out the second leg. So here we can use the Pythagoras Theorem , which establish the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle. As ,
[tex]:\implies[/tex] p² + b² = h²
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 5² + b² = 9²
[tex]:\implies[/tex] 25 + b² = 81
[tex]:\implies[/tex]b² = 81 -25
[tex]:\implies[/tex] b² = 56
[tex]:\implies[/tex] b = 7.48 in
Hence the measurement of second leg is 7.48 inches .
