Answer:

The missing side length is 24.98 units

Explanation:

Given

The attached right-triangle

Required

The length of the missing length

Let the missing length be x.

Apply Pythagoras theorem


Hyp^2 = Opp^2 + Adj^2

This gives


43^2 = 35^2 + x^2


1849 = 1225 + x^2

Collect like terms


x^2 = 1849 - 1225


x^2 = 624

Take square roots of both sides


x = \sqrt{624


x = 24.98 --- approximated
