Find the missing dimension of the triangle 14 ft x 6 = b
To find the missing dimension, let's use a triangular formula called the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this case, we have a triangle with sides 14 ft and 6 ft, and we need to find the length of the missing side, which we'll call b (also in ft).
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where a and b are the two known sides, and c is the hypotenuse.
Plugging in the values we have:
(14 ft)^2 + (6 ft)^2 = b^2
(196 ft^2) + (36 ft^2) = b^2
232 ft^2 = b^2
To find the missing side, b, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation:
√(232 ft^2) = √(b^2)
The square root of b^2 is simply b, so:
b = √(232 ft^2)
Now, let's calculate it:
b ≈ 15.23 ft
Therefore, the missing dimension of the triangle is approximately 15.23 ft.
