The missing length indicated on the right triangle is 120 units
How to determine the missing length?
To start with:
The missing length in the right triangle can be represented with the variable x
Next, we have the following equivalent ratio from the given triangle
64 : x = x : 289 - 64
Express the ratio as a fraction
64/x = x/(289 - 64)
Evaluate the difference on the right-hand side
64/x = x/225
Cross multiply in the above equation
x * x = 64 * 225
This gives
x^2 = 64 * 225
Take the square root of x^2 (do not approximate)
x = 64 * 225
Take the square root of 64 and 225 (do not approximate)
x = 64 * 225
Evaluate the product of 8 and 5
x = 120
Based on the given parameters, the missing length indicated on the right triangle is 120 units
