Question

What is the length of the missing side? Round to the nearest tenths if necessary.

Answer 1

`√(207)`

Explanation:

Use the right triangle formula c^2=a^2+b^2

C is the number of the hypothenuse while b and c are the 2 others.

16^2=7^2+a^2

256=49+a^2

now solve for the equation.

a^2=207

now take the square root of both.

a=
`\sqrt[2]{207}`
