A right triangle has a hypotenuse of 70 feet and a leg of 35 feet. What is the length of the other leg?

We are given the two sides of the right triangle therefore we can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the third side. This theorem states that, in a right triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of each leg.

c² = a² + b²

70² = 35² + b²

b = √70² - 35²

b = 60.62 feet
