Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

6.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle

${a}^{2} + {6}^{2} = {9}^{2}$

${a}^{2} + 36 = 81$

${a}^{2} = 45$

$a = \sqrt{45}$

$a = 6.7$
