Answer:

11.2 cm

Explanation:

The missing side = the hypotenuse

Apply pythagorean theorem to find he hypotenuse which is given as:

c² = a² + b³

a = 10 cm

b = 5 cm

c = Hypotenuse (missing side)

(Hypotenuse)² = 10² + 5² = 125

Hypotenuse = √125

Hypotenuse = 11.1803399 ≈ 11.2 cm (nearest tenth)
