Question

Finding the missing side of an triangle?

Answer 1

10.1119 m or √102.25 m

Explanation:

Using our lovely Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², we can find the value of x in this triangle.

Let's say that a = 4.8 and b = 8.9, then set c as x.

(4.8)² + (8.9)² = x²

23.04 + 79.21 = x²

x² = 102.25

x = √102.25

= 10.111874208...

≈ 10.1119
