Question

Find the missing side of triangle

Answer 1

Final Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

we'll be using the pythagorean theorem method, in this triangle the missing letter is a.

formula: $a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$

a = x

b = 21

c = 29

a = $\sqrt{29^2-21^2}$

a = $\sqrt{841-441}$     (note: 29² = 29 × 29 = 841 and 21² = 21 × 21 = 441)

a = $\sqrt{400}$

a = 20

x = 20
