Answer: The missing side is 24 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is a right angle that means that we can use the Pythagorean Theorem formula to solve for the B.
The formula says that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 Since we know a is 18 and c is 30 we will input the value into the formula to solve for b.
18^2 + b^2 = 30^2
324 + b^2 = 900
-324 -324
b^2 = 576
b = [tex]\sqrt{576}[/tex]
b = 24
