Answer:

55.36 m

Explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem relates the side lengths of a right triangle. For legs 'a' and 'b', and hypotenuse 'c', it tells you ...

c² = a² +b²

__

For this figure, that means ...

?² = 19² +52² = 361 +2704 = 3065

? = √3065 ≈ 55.36 . . . . meters

The missing side length is about 55.36 meters.
