Answer
b=2.4
Work Step by Step
The hypotenuse is 2.6 and one of the legs is 1. Find the other leg using $a^{2}$+$b^{2}$=$c^{2}$. Plug in the leg for A and the hypotenuse for C:
$a^{2}$+$b^{2}$=$c^{2}$
$1^{2}$+$b^{2}$=$2.6^{2}$ -simplify the exponents-
1 + $b^{2}$=6.76 -subtract 1 from both sides-
$b^{2}$=5.76 -find the square root of 5.76 in order to solve for b-
b=2.4
The other leg is 2.4.
