Answer:

The leg MA measures 22.7 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that's about a right triangle, the image attached shows a representation of this problem.

We use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing leg, which we are gonna call [tex]y[/tex]

[tex]29^{2} =18^{2}+y^{2}\\y^{2}=29^{2}-18^{2}\\y=\sqrt{841 - 324} \approx 22.7 \ cm[/tex]

Therefore, the leg MA measures 22.7 centimeters.
