We have that the pythagorean theorem is:


c^2=a^2+b^2

in this case, we have that a = 60 and b = 32, then, using the formula, we get:


\begin{gathered} c^2=(60)^2+(32)^2=3600+1024 \\ \Rightarrow c^2=4624 \\ \Rightarrow c=\sqrt[]{4624}=68 \\ c=68 \end{gathered}

therefore, the length of the missing side is 68
