The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the triangle,
hypotenuse = 14
one leg = 9
other leg = x
Thus, we have
To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area = lateral area + 2(area of base)
Lateral area = perimeter of base * height.
Because it is a isosceles right triangle, both sides are equal.
= 72
2 = 72. Divide both sides by 2
= 36. Square both sides.
x = 6.
So the perimeter of the base = 6 + 6 + = 20.485281374239
Lateral area = 20.485281374239 * 7 = 143.397
Area of base is (1/2)base * height.
(1/2)(6)(6) = 18
Using the surface area formula
surface area = 143.397 + 2(18) = 179.4
