there is to right traingles and we have to find the missing side

the first traingle has 4 on the bottom and 2 as its height the second trangle has a 9 on the bottom and the x as the height which number is x.

a.4.5
b.18
c.8
d.2.25
i think a

here it is ms sue

Now I understand.

Yes, a is correct.

ok now can u look at the new question i put up please

To find the missing side of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem or the basic trigonometric ratios. In this case, since you are given the lengths of the two sides (base and height) of each triangle, you can use basic geometry to determine the lengths.

For the first triangle with a base of 4 and height of 2, you can calculate the length of the hypotenuse (the missing side) using the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, you have:

hypotenuse^2 = base^2 + height^2
hypotenuse^2 = 4^2 + 2^2
hypotenuse^2 = 16 + 4
hypotenuse^2 = 20

To find the length of the hypotenuse, you need to take the square root of both sides:

hypotenuse = √20
hypotenuse ≈ 4.47 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the missing length of the first triangle is approximately 4.47.

Now, let's move on to the second triangle. You are given a base length of 9 and a height length of x. Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to determine the missing side length in this case.

So, none of the given answer options (a, b, c, or d) can be correct for the missing length (x) of the second triangle.
