Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the missing sides square the side length of the legs of the triangles( the lines that form a 90 degree angle) then add them together, then take the sqr root of that to find the hypotunse( the slanted side). In simplier terms, here how it look.


a^(2)+b^(2) =c^(2)

where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotunese. For example, Ill do 3. The bases are 22, and 11 so plug them in the equations.


a^(2)+b^(2) =c^(2)

11^2+22^2=c^2

121+484=c^2

605=c^2

c=about 24.6
