The missing side of the triangles are 5, 16.92, 7 and 5 respectively.
Explanation:
- Step 1: Use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the missing sides.
a² + b² = c²
In the first triangle, a = 3, b = 4.
c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25
⇒ c = 5
∴ Missing side is 5
In the second triangle, a = 15, b = 8
c² = 15² + 8² = 225 + 64 = 289
⇒ c = 16.92
Missing side is 16.92
In the third triangle, b = 24, c = 25
a² = c² - b²
a² = 25² - 24² = 625 - 576 = 49
⇒ a = 7
Missing side is 7
In the fourth triangle, a = 12, c = 13
b² = c² - a²
b² = 13² - 12² = 169 - 144 = 25
⇒ b = 5
Missing side is 5
