Question

Find the missing side of this right triangle. 19 X X = 16 ✓[?]

Answer 1

Answer:

x = sqrt(105)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

16^2 + x^2 = 19^2

256 + x^2 = 361

x^2 = 361 -256

x^2 =105

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(105)

x = sqrt(105)
