Question: The hypotenuse of a right triangle has a length of 14 units and a side that is 9 units long. Which equation can be used to find the length of the remaining side?

Answer 1

The hypotenuse is the longest side in a triangle.

a^2=b^2+c^2.

14^2=9^2+c^2.

c^2=196-81.

c^2=115.

c=√115.

c=10.72~11cm
