Answer:
x=34
Step-by-step explanation:
1. formula for Pythagorean Theorem for right trangles is <u>a^2+b^2=c^2</u>
2. a=30 and b=16, so (30)^2+(16)^2=c^2
3. (30)^2=900 and (16)^2=256
4. 900+256=1156
5. 1156=c^2
6.
7. the square root of 1156 is 34, so c=34
8. The missing side of the triangle, labeled as "x<em>"</em> is 34
