Question

Find the missing length of this
triangle using the Pythagorean
Theorem. Show all your work.

Answer 1

I think it’s 70 because a^2+ b^2= c^2 so 40+30= 70 I may be wrong I hadn’t done this in a while

Answer 2

Answer:

50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Missing side of the given right triangle is hypotenuse.

By Pythagoras Theorem:

$hypotenuse ^{2} = {30}^{2} + {40}^{2} \\ \\ = 900 + 1600 \\ = 2500 \\ \\ hypotenuse = \sqrt{2500} \\ \\ hypotenuse = 50 \: ft$

Thus the length of the missing side of the right triangle is 50 ft
