PLZ HELP (NEED ASAP)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

The length of the missing side is 34ft

Explanation:

In order to find the length of the missing side on a right triangle, we need to apply a formula called the "Pythagorean theorem".

This formula can be represented as such:
`c=\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2) }` (might look awfully familiar)

Given we already know the length of the other two sides which are 16 and 30, we can simply plug each of them in the "a" and "b" variable spots as such:

`c=\sqrt{16^(2) + 30^(2) }`

Then we just evaluate the equation! Remember PEMDAS! (order of operations

`16^(2) =256` &
`30^(2) = 900`

Now add the two squares together to get 1,156

`c = √(256+900)`

Finally, we then get the square root of 1156 and we end up with our answer of 34ft

`√(1156) = 34`

Answer 2

34

Explanation:

You would use the pythagereom thereom which states that a^2+b^2=c^2

so 16 x 16=256 and 30 x 30=900 and 900+256=1156

and that rooted equlas 34
