Lenght of a right triangle

We want to find the missing side lenght of the triangle.

We have that:

By the Pythagoras Theorem we know that

side 1² + side 2² = hypotenuse²

since side 1 = 9

side 2 = 14

and

hypotenuse = x, then

side 1² + side 2² = hypotenuse²

9² + 14² = hypotenuse²

81 + 196 = hypotenuse²

277 = hypotenuse²

Then

hypotenuse = √277

≅ 16.64

Answer: the missing side of the right triangle is √277≅ 16.64
