Question

Find the missing side length

Answer 1

6.5

Explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem:

`a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2)`

a=6

b=2.5

c=hypotenuse

`6^(2) +2.5^(2) =c^(2)`

simplify

`36 +6.25=c^(2)\\42.25=c^(2)`

take square root of both sides

`c=6.5`

The missing side length is 6.5 units.

Hope this helps!
