Question

Please help me with these, find the missing side. Thank yu only if you know

Answer 1

7.48m (3s.f.)

Explanation:

Let the missing side be x m.

Applying Pythagoras' Theorem,

x² +5²= 9²

x² +25= 81

x²= 81 -25 (-25 on both sides)

x²= 56

`x = √(56)`

`x = 2 √(14)`

x= 7.48 (3 s.f.)

∴ The missing side is 7.48 m (3s.f.)
