A right triangle's hypotenuse has length 5. If one leg has length 3, what is the length of the other leg?

The length of the other leg will be = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use your Pythagoras theorem to determine the length of the other leg.

Hypotenuse^2=a^2+b^2

since you are given the length of the hypotenuse and one leg you can change the formula to:

b^2 = h^2 - a^2

b = √h^2-a^2

b=√5^2-3^2

b=√25-9

b=√16

b=4

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
