Question

Find the missing length of this

triangle using the Pythagorean
Theorem. Show all your work.

Answer 1

50 ft

Explanation:

Missing side of the given right triangle is hypotenuse.

By Pythagoras Theorem:

`hypotenuse ^(2) = {30}^(2) + {40}^(2) \\ \\ = 900 + 1600 \\ = 2500 \\ \\ hypotenuse = √(2500) \\ \\ hypotenuse = 50 \: ft \\`

Thus the length of the missing side of the right triangle is 50 ft

Answer 2

I think it’s 70 because a^2+ b^2= c^2 so 40+30= 70 I may be wrong I hadn’t done this in a while
