Give an exact answer and, where appropriate, an approximation to three decimal places.
A right triangle's hypotenuse is 8m and one leg is 4m. Find the length of the other leg.
----
hypo^2 = leg^2 + leg^2
------------
(8m)^2 = [4sqrt(3)m]^2 + leg^2
--------
64m^2 = 16*3*m^2 + leg^2
-------
16m^2 = leg^2
leg = 4m
