a? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
O 2.0
O 8.5
O 13.0
9.6

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]Solution,\\Here,\\Hypotenuse (h )~=~11\\Leg (b) = 7\\Let~the~other~leg~be~'p'.\\\\From~Pythagoras~Theorem,\\h^{2} = p^{2}+b^{2}\\or, 11^{2} = p^{2}+7^{2}\\or, 121 = p^{2} +49\\or, p^{2} = 72\\or, p = 6\sqrt{2} = 8.5 approx.[/tex]
