Question

Find the missing side of each triangle. Leave your answers in simplest radical form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Missing side = x = 12.04 mi / √145 mi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Perpendicular = 9 mi

Base = 8 mi

And Hypotenuse = missing side = x

Solution :-

Now substitute the values

➟ ( 9 mi ) ² + ( 8 mi ) ² = x²

Simplify the values

➟ 81 mi ² + 64 mi ² = x ²

Add the values

➟ 145 mi ² = x ²

Finding , the root of 145 mi ²

➟ √145 mi ² = x

➟ 12.04 mi = x

Therefore, The missing side of the triangle is 12.04 mi / √145 mi.
