Answer:

Use Pythagorean Theorem.

Explanation:

To find any side of a right angled triangle, we use Pythagorean Theorem. It states that the square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of it's sides.

Let hypotenuse is a

Perpendicular is b

and base is c

According to the theorem:

a²= b² + c²

Add values and solve for the unknown variable / side.

If you had added the problem, I would have elaborated more but still this will help you out.
