Answer + explanation:

Answer: 40

To find a missing side length, use Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a = x (in this case) b = 30 and c = 50

a^2 + 30^2 = 50^2

a^2 + 900 = 2500

a^2 = 2500 - 900

a^2 = 1600

square root 1600 = 40

the missing side length of the triangle is 40
