Question

Find the missing side length of the right triangle below.

Answer 1

The missing side is 7.

Explanation:

➼ We can solve this using the pythagorean theorem.

`{a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2) \\ {24}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {25}^(2) \\ 576 + {b}^(2) = 625 \\ \frac{ - 576 \: \: \: \: \: \: = - 576}{ {b}^(2) = √(49) } \\ b = 7`
