Answer:

36.1 meters

Explanation:

Since this is a rectangle, the parallel sides are equal to each other, meaning we technically already know all the side lengths.

I'll choose to look at the bottom triangle in this case

30 is already there, and the other leg should be 20. Knowing this, we can plug these into the pythagorean theorem.

20 is A, 30 is B, and the missing side is C


a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2)\\20^(2) + 30^(2) = c^(2) \\400 + 900 = 1300 \\√(1300) = 36.06\\

C, the missing side to the nearest tenth is 36.1 meters
