Question

The longest side in a right triangle is 24 cm and the second longest side 20 cm, what is the length of the shortest side

Answer 1

Answer:

$4\sqrt{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

you use the Pythagorean theorem, so the longest side is the hypotenuse and so you do 24^2 minus 20^2 to find the shortest side. you would get 176 and you square root this to get about 13.27
