Question

Find the length of the third side of the right triangle. Give an exact answer and an approximation to three decimal places if needed.

Answer 1

a = 32

Explanation:

This is a right triangle and the square value of hypotenuse is equal to sum of square value of other two side lengths

68^2 = 60^2 + a^2

4624 = 3600 + a^2

4624 - 3600 = a^2

1024 = a^2 find the root for both sides

32 = a
