Question

Find the length of the missing side. 34 ft ? 30 ft​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let p be perpendicular, ( ^ refers to exponent )

by pythagorus theorem,

hypotenuse^2 = perpendicular^2 + base^2

• 34^2 = p^2 + 30^2
• 1156 = p^2 + 900
• p^2 = 1156 - 900
• p^2 = 256
• p = root 256
• p = 16

so we get p = perpendicular = 16 feets
