Question

What is the missing length in the right triangle?

Answer 1

I would assume that s is also 5 because its an isosceles triangle. This leaves the hypotenuse side, which would be 7.07. To find a missing side when you have two sides, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which is
`a^(2) +b^(2) = c^(2)`. The longest side will always represent c, so when you plug in a and b squared, you will get 50 in total. To get c by itself, you just need to square root it. I hope that made sense!
