HELP! LOTS OF POINTS

The triangle shown is a right triangle. Create the equation to be used to find the missing lengths. Format your answer in the sequence: hypotenuse, unknown leg, known leg.

Answer 1

hypotenuse^2 = unknown leg^2 + known leg^2
9^2= x^2+5^2
9^2-5^2=x^2
√56=7.48

Answer 2

Use the equation=
x^2+5^2=9^2
x^2+25=81
x^2+25-25=81-25
x^2=56

`√(x) = √(56)`
x=7.48331477355
