Question

Find the missing side of each triangle. Leave your answers in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagoras theorem

a^2+b^2=c^2

8^2+9^2=x^2

64+81=x^2

145=x^2

$\sqrt{145$=x

Answer 2

Answer:

The missing side of the triangle is 12.04 mi / √145 mi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

• Perpendicular = 9 mi
• Base = 8 mi
• And Hypotenuse = missing side = x

Solution :-

Now substitute the values

➟ ( 9 mi ) ² + ( 8 mi ) ² = x²

Simplify the values

➟ 81 mi ² + 64 mi ² = x ²

Add the values

➟ 145 mi ² = x ²

Finding , the root of 145 mi ²

➟ √145 mi ² = x

➟ 12.04 mi = x

Therefore, The missing side of the triangle is 12.04 mi / √145 mi.
