Question

Please help me with this.

Answer 1

Answer:

15.6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we want to find the length of the missing side

Mathematically, we can use Pythagoras’ theorem

The theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the missing side be x

18 is the side that faces right angle and this is the hypotenuse

Thus, we have ;

x^2 + 9^2 = 18^2

x^2 = 324 - 81

x^2 = 243

x = √(243)

x = 15.6 in
