Question

Find the length of the missing

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

using pythagoras theorem

here 15 is hypotenuse since it is opposite 0f 90 degree

9 and x are the other smaller sides of a triangle

according to pythagoras thorem the sum of square of two smaller sides of a triangle is equal to the square of hypotenuse. So,

9^2 + x^2 = 15^2

81 + x^2 = 225

x^2 = 225 - 81

x^2 = 144

x =
`\sqrt{144`

x = 12
