Question

The lengths of two side of a right triangle are given find the length of the third side

Answer 1

Answer:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem:  a² + b² = c².

Step-by-step explanation:

For any given right triangle the sum of the measures of the sides squared is equal to the hypotenuse squared.  The formula is call the Pythagorean Theorem and is written:  a² + b² = c², where 'a' and 'b' are the legs of the triangle and 'c' is the hypotenuse.  

Depending on which side of the triangle they give you, you can plug the other two side lengths into the equation to solve for the third.

Answer 2

Answer:

your answer depends on what sides are given.

For example, lets say that you now the lengths of two sides, these being 56 and 24. ( these are just random numbers BTW) to find the third you would add the two lengths that you know and then minus them from 180. So for the example i just typed you would do 56 + 24 first which equals 80, then would do 180-80 which equals 100.

To check your answer, you could do this:

DO THE ABOVE AGAIN CAREFULLY (lol I don't usually check so.. idk)

math is my worst subject so.... hope this helped you.
