Question

Substitute the length of the sides (7 in, 25in n)

into the Pythagorean theorem. Then, find the length of the missing side m
(Please with step by step answer)

Answer 1

with 2 sides, we can assume that the 25 inch side is the hypotenuse.

7^2 + 25^2 = 49 + 625 = 674

674 is NOT a perfect square so we'll make the 25 side as the hypotenuse.

7^2 +n^2 = 625

n^2 = 625 - 49

n^2 = 576

square root (576) = 24

So the 3 sides are

7 24 and 25
