Answer 1

1.5 I did it with Pythagoras theorem

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, of course, so the Pythagorean Theorem applies.

Looking at this figure, I can see that the hypotenuse is 3.9 feet and one of the legs is 3.6 and feet.

The only side length missing is the second leg.

Here, I am solving for the second leg.

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$3.6^2+x^2=3.9^2$

$12.96 + x^2=15.21$

$15.21-12.96=2.25$

$x^2=2.25$

$x=1.5$

Therefore, the length of the missing side is 1.5 ft.
