Question

Find the exact length of the third side.
68
51

Answer 1

The value of c is:

• c=85 units

Explanation:

Given the right-angled triangle

• a=68

• b=51

And we have to determine the value of the hypotenuse 'c'.

c=?

Pythagorean Theorem:

For a right-angled triangle with sides a and b the hypotenuse c

`c=√(a^2+b^2)`

`a=68`

`b=51`

`c=√(68^2+51^2)`

`c=85` units

Thus, the value of c is:

c=85 units
