Question

Find the third side in simplest radical form:
8

Answer 1

Answer:

c = √73

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

c = hypotenuse

a, b = legs

When we are given 2 sides of a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side:

8² + 3² = c²

64 + 9 = c²

73 = c²

c = √73

Answer 2

8 squared is 64 and 3 squared is 9 so 73 = the missing side squared
Therefore the answer is the square root of 73
(A^2 + B^2 = C^2
