Answer:

A)
√(146)

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle with side lengths
a and
b, and a hypotenuse of
c, the equation that relates to every side of the triangle is
a^2+b^2=c^2.

In this case, we'll let
a=√(82)\:\text{mi} and
b=8\:\text{mi}, and we can solve for the hypotenuse
x:


a^2+b^2=c^2\\\\√(82)^2+8^2=x^2\\\\82+64=x^2\\\\146=x^2\\\\√(146)=x

Therefore, the missing side of the triangle is
√(146)\: \text{mi}.
