Hello!
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem
c is the hypotenuse which is the side across the right angle
a and b are the other sides
Put in the values you know
Square the numbers
Subtract 25 from both sides
Take the square root of both sides
a = 10.9
The answer is D) 10.9 centimeters
Hope this helps!
