B) 210.5 cm
C) 5.4 cm
D) 16 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 20.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this equation for the missing side length, X.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

We have a and b, we just need c, the hypotenuse.

14^2 + 15^2 = c^2

196 + 225 = c^2

421 = c^2

Now, we will square both sides:

The answer is about 20.5
