Question

Find the missing side of the triangle. Side c is the hypotenuse and sides a & b are legs.

a = 6.3. mi, c = 15.4 mi

Answer 1

Answer:

14.05 is as close as I got

Step-by-step explanation:

6.3 squared + b squared = 15.4 squared

Answer 2

Answer:

$b=14.0524019299$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve: $a^2+b^2=c^2$

$(6.3)^2+b^2=(15.4)^2$                <-- plug in a and c values into equation

$39.69+b^2=237.16$                <-- take out parentheses

$b^2=197.47$                              <-- subtract 39.69 from both sides

$b=14.0524019299$                  <-- take the square root of 197.47

Not sure how much you want to round to so that's the exact answer.
