Answer:

39

Explanation:

1. Use the Pythagorean theorom: a^2+b^2=c^2.

C is the missing side here, which is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The other two sides and be put into the equation either way. Doesn't matter the order.

15^2 + 36^2 =c^2

2. Evaluate 15^2 and 36^2 and add the results.

15^2 = 225

36^2 = 1,296

225+1,296= 1,521

3. Take the square root of the answer.

√1521 = 39
