Question

For the right triangle shown, the lengths of two sides are given. Find the third side. Leave your answer in simplified,

radical form.
b = 9, C = 16

Answer 1

the person above is right

5^7

Explanation:

Answer 2

a = 5√7 units

Explanation:

Let's find the value of a, using the Pythagorean Theorem, this way:

c = Hypotenuse = 16

a² = c² - b²

a² = 16² - 9²

a² = 256 - 81

a² = 175

√a² = √175

a = √25 * 7

a = 5 √7 units
