Question

Find the measure of the missing side. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. (PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM)

Answer 1

6.7 ft

Explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem:

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

where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle

`{a}^(2) + {6}^(2) = {9}^(2)`

`{a}^(2) + 36 = 81`

`{a}^(2) = 45`

`a = √(45)`

`a = 6.7`
