Question

Find the missing side of the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

The missing side of the triangle is 12ft .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First side = a = x

Second side = b = 9 ft

And third side = c = 15 ft

Solution :-

Pythagoras theorem

(Perpendicular) ²+(Base) ²= (hypotenuse) ²

substitute the value

➟ ( x ) ² + ( 9ft ) ² = ( 15 ft) ²

Multiplying the values

➟ x² + 81 ft ² = 225 ft ²

subtract the values

➟ x ² =225 ft ² - 81 ft²

➟ x ² = 144 ft²

finding square root of 144 ft

➟ x = √144 ft ²

➟ x = 12 ft

Hence , missing side of triangle is 12 ft .
