Question

(Pythagorean theorem) find the missing side length. Round to the nearest hundredth (show steps)

Answer 1

square root of 29.00

Explanation:

5square +2square=29 to the nearest hundredth 29.00 .but there is no square root of 29

Answer 2

5.39

Explanation:

To find the third side (let's call it x) you plug the side lengths given into the Pythagorean theorem to get:

5² + 2² = x²

Which, simplified, is:

25 + 4 = x²

And to get x, you do:

x=√(29)

So, if you want it to the nearest hundredth, it is 5.39.
