Question

In a right-angled triangle the hypotenuse and a perpendicular side are 113 and 112, respectively. Determine the length of the missing side

Answer 1

15 is the length of the missing side

Explanation:

Use the Pythagoras Theorem to find the missing side:

`leg_2=√(hyp^2-leg_1^2) \\leg_2=√(113^2-112^2) \\leg_2=√(225) \\leg_2=15`

Therefore the missing side is 15 units long.
