Question

Ms. Daffy tells you that the longest side of her right-triangular garden is 26m and one of the sides is 14m. A. She asks you to find the other side of the garden.

Answer 1

22m

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Since it is a right-triangular garden so we use the pythagoreus theorem

As we know that

The C^2 refers to the longest side of the right-triangular garden

So,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 14^2 = 26^2

a^2 + 196 = 676

a^2 = 480

So a = 22m

Hence, the other side of the garden is 22m
