6.9ft
12ft
6ft
4ft
8.9ft

Answer 1

6.9ft

Explanation:

using the hypotenuse formula,you subtract the hypotenuse by the leg given which is 8 to the second minus 4 to the secound,which you will then get 48,and then you would find the square root of 48 which is 6.92820323028 and if you round it,it would be 6.9
