Answer 1

The hypotenuse in a righ triangle is always in front of the right angle,

then, c is the hypotenuse. Then, Pythagorean theorem can be written as

`c^2=14^2+9^2`

which gives

`\begin{gathered} c^2=196+81 \\ c^2=277 \end{gathered}`

By applying square root to both side, we get

`\begin{gathered} c=\sqrt[]{277} \\ c=16.6433 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the missing side (which is the hypotenuse in this case) is equal to 16.6433 units.
