Question

Plz help me solve this

Answer 1

c = 9.43 cm

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the measure of the missing side

By the use of Pythagoras’ theorem, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

we have this as follows;

The side c represents the hypotenuse as it faces the hypotenuse

We have this as;

c^2 = 5^2 + 8^2

c^2 = 25 + 64

c^2 = 89

c = √89

c = 9.43 cm
