Question

The missing side length in the right triangle is __ cm.

Answer 1

364

1) Assuming this is a right triangle, the side whose length is 365 is the hypotenuse, so we can write out the Pythagorean Theorem:

365² = 27² +c²

133225 =729+ c²

133225 -729 = c²

132496= c² Take the square root on both sides

√132496 = √c²

c = 364

2) Hence, the missing leg is 364 cm
