mi
Step-by-step explanation:
For a right angled triangle, if the sides containing right angle is a and b then
hypotenuse to the triangle is given by hypotenuse =
______________________
In the problem side containing right angle is 9 mi and a mi
while hypotenuse mi.
Using formula for hypotenuse and using value 9 mi, a mi and we have
Thus length of unknown leg is mi.
