Question

Two sides of a right triangle have lengths of 56 centimeters and 65 centimeters. the 3third side is not the hypotenuse. how long is the third side

Answer 1

33 centimeters

Explanation:

Because the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle, the hypotenuse in the question is 65. The way to solve the question would be to plug the numbers into the Pythagorean theorem.

56^2 + b^2 = 65^2

b^2 = 1089

b = 33
