Question

Find The Missing Side Length In The Right Triangle

x,8,15


x=7

x=12.7

x=23

x=161

Answer 1

12.7

Explanation:

If this is a right triangle then you just have to use pythagorean theorem. If fifteen is the hypotenuse then fifteen squared minus eight squared will give you x squared. Fifteen squared is 225 and eight squared is 64 so you subtract 64 from 225 to acquire the number 161. The square root of 161 is not exact but when rounded it is 12.7
