Question
![**Find the Unknown Length in the Right Triangle**
A right triangle is portrayed with its two known sides labeled. The lengths given are:
- One leg: 11 meters
- Hypotenuse: 34 meters
The missing side length, which is the other leg of the triangle, is labeled with a question mark (?).
**Diagram Explanation**
A right triangle is shown with:
- A right angle indicated by a small square in the corner.
- One leg labeled as 11 meters.
- The hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) labeled as 34 meters.
- The unknown leg represented by a question mark (?).
**Objective:**
Calculate the length of the unknown side in the right triangle.
**Question:**
The unknown length is approximately [ ] meters.
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem ( \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) ) to find the unknown length.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa5da6b72-6f0b-4b5b-b99e-129f8d660be8%2F6998ee00-3228-4bb1-8e69-5cf82df3d223%2Fq9e3fhe_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
