Answer:

  • The other leg is 82 units

------------------------

Given:

  • a = 19,
  • c = [tex]\sqrt{7085}[/tex],
  • b = ?

Find the missing leg, using Pythagorean:

  • a² + b² = c²
  • 19² + b² = 7085
  • 361 + b² = 7085
  • b² = 7085 - 361
  • b² = 6724
  • b = [tex]\sqrt{6724}[/tex]
  • b = 82
