Question

Find the missing side of this triangle, round to the nearest tenth if needed PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x:

• $x\:\approx \:8$ in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$b=4.8$ in

$c=9.3$ in

a = x

we have to determine 'x'.

As the given triangle is a right-angled triangle.

Pythagorean Theorem:

For a right-angled triangle, with sides 'a' and 'b', the hypotenuse 'c' is defined as

$c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

so

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

as

• $b=4.8$ in

• $c=9.3$ in
• a = x

substituting the values

$x=\sqrt{9.3^2-4.8^2}$

$x\:\approx \:8$ in

Thus, the value of x:

• $x\:\approx \:8$ in
