Calculate Legs a and b





Formula

To calculate the legs \(a\) and \(b\):

\[ a = \sqrt{m \times c} \]

\[ b = \sqrt{n \times c} \]

Where:

Leg Rule Definition

The leg rule is a set of formulas used in the geometry of a triangle that relates the lengths of two of the sides of the right angle to the projected lengths below them.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formulas:

\[ a = \sqrt{4 \times 10} = \sqrt{40} = 6.32 \]

\[ b = \sqrt{6 \times 10} = \sqrt{60} = 7.75 \]

The legs are \(a = 6.32\) and \(b = 7.75\).

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formulas:

\[ a = \sqrt{9 \times 15} = \sqrt{135} = 11.62 \]

\[ b = \sqrt{5 \times 15} = \sqrt{75} = 8.66 \]

The legs are \(a = 11.62\) and \(b = 8.66\).
