You use that Pythagorean Theory which is A^2+B^2=C^2. 16^2 is 256 and 4^2 is 16. Then you add those together and you should have 272 and you square root that and your answer is 6

A triangle has three sides that add up to 180 degrees. Let’s set up an equation to model this question.

16+4+x=180

20+x=180

Subtract 20 to both sides.

x=160.
