To find the length of the other leg of the right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let's denote the length of the other leg as x.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
x^2 + 6^2 = 12^2
Simplifying this equation, we get:
x^2 + 36 = 144
Subtracting 36 from both sides:
x^2 = 108
Taking the square root of both sides:
x = √108
Simplifying the square root:
x ≈ 10.39 feet
Therefore, the length of the other leg is approximately 10.39 feet.
