Question

Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

6 ft
8 ft
2,7
14
10
2

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

First you write out the equation in the Pythagorean Formula.

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

This is how you write it for this equation;

`6 {}^(2) + 8 {}^(2) = c {}^(2) </p><p>`

in this format you get 100, that's when you round the answer. If the last digit is higher than 4, you add one more. But it's not, and therefore the answer is 10.

Answer 2

10 feet.

Explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem:

x^2 = 6^2 + 8^2

x^2 = 36 + 64 = 100

x = 10,
