Answer:

4.58258

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

Input:

2² + x² = 5²

Remember, c² is always the side opposite of the right angle...

4 + x² = 25

21 = x²

x = 4.58258

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!

Answer 2

Answer:

$\sqrt{21}$

Step-by-step explanation:

let the missing side be x , then

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

x² + 2² = 5²

x² + 4 = 25 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x² = 21 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = $\sqrt{21}$ ≈ 4.6 ( to 1 dec. place )
