Question

Solve for the missing side length. Round to the nearest tenth.

21.2
21.3
21.6
21.4

Answer 1

Answer is 21.4 m for unknown side length

Using Pythagorean Theorem we can find the missing side, the hypotenuse.

Let c = the missing side

Let your equation be a^2 + b^2 = c^2

13^2 + 17^2 = c^2

169 + 289 = c^2

458 = c^2

√458 = √c^2

21.4 = c

Your answer is 21.4 m.
