Question

(Image) Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the missing side of this right triangle to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

11^2 - 3.9^2 = x^2
x = 10.3

Answer 2

The missing side is 10.25

Explanation:

Step 1: Use Pythagorean Theorem

`11^(2) = 3.9^(2) + x^(2) \\121 = 15.21 + x^(2)\\121 - 15.21 = x^(2) \\105.79 = x^(2) \\√(105.79) = \sqrt{x^(2) } \\x = 10.285`

Therefore the missing side is 10.285
