Question

Find the length of the third side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the third side is $≈15.7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note:

Phitagors theorem:

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

$c: hypotenuse$

$a: altitude$

$b: base$

1) Using Phitagors theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

$c^{2}=14^{2}+7^{2}$

2) Calculate

$c^{2}=245$

3) Take the square root of both sides of the equation

$\sqrt {c^{2}}=\sqrt{245}$

$c=\sqrt{245}$

$c≈15.7$
