Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the other leg can be found.
Let the length of the other leg be x.
By the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
x^2 + 6^2 = 12^2
Simplifying the equation:
x^2 + 36 = 144
Subtracting 36 from both sides:
x^2 = 144 - 36
x^2 = 108
Taking the square root of both sides:
x = √108 ≈ 10.4
Therefore, the length of the other leg is approximately 10.4 ft (rounded to the nearest tenth).
