Question

Find the length of the missing side. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

Answer:

The other side is 7.48 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Hypotenuse = 15 yards

One leg = 13 yards

We need to find the length of the other leg. We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find it such that,

$H^2=b^2+h^2$

Where

h is other leg

Put all the values,

$h=\sqrt{H^2-b^2} \\\\h=\sqrt{(15)^2-(13)^2} \\\\h=7.48\ yd$

So, the other side is 7.48 yards.
