Question

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form. sdquare root of 58 8

Answer 1

√122

Explanation:

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, write in simplest radical form. square root of 58 8

let the given sides be;

Hypotenuse = x

Adjacent = √58

Opposite = 8

Using pythagoras theorem;

hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2

x^2 = (√58)^2+8^2

x^2 = 58 + 64

x^2 = 122

x = √122

Hence the length of the unknown side is √122
