What is the length of the missing leg?

8 in

b

b=

17 in

If your taking about a triangle, the answer =.

Step-by-step explanation:

*^2 = squared*

1) The formula to calculate the missing leg of a triangle is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Subsituting in the formula, 8^2+17^2=c^2.

2) Simplify values, 64+289=c^2, 353=c^2

3) find the square root of the value that is left, (square root) 353=18.8 (rounded to 10th place).

4) 18.8=c
