Question

Solve for the missing sideThe figure is a right triangle with sides 16 units and 12 units.

Answer 1

Given:

The sides of right angled triangles are 16 units and 12 units.

Objective is to find hypotenuse.

$\begin{gathered} \text{hypotenuse}^2=side^2+side^2 \\ =16^2+12^2 \\ =256+144 \\ =400 \\ \text{hypotenuse}=20 \end{gathered}$

So, missing side is 20 units.
