Question

Find the length of the missing side of the right triangle. Plz help I have no clue how to do this

Answer 1

#1 is 17 and #2 is 25.

Explanation:

You're going to use the Pythagorean Theorem which is a²+b²=c².

1.) a and b are called legs and the missing length is called the hypotenuse. The legs are the numbers given to you, such as, 8 and 15. Plug them into the equation: 8²+15²=c².

2.) 64+225=c²

3.) 289=c²

4.) 25=c
