Find the missing length round to the nearest tenth if necessary left side is x. Right side is 14. Bottom is 9
We are missing the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find it:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the lengths of the sides (legs) and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
In this case, a = 9 (bottom) and b = x (left side), and c = 14 (right side).
So, we have:
9^2 + x^2 = 14^2
81 + x^2 = 196
x^2 = 196 - 81
x^2 = 115
x ≈ 10.7
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the missing length is approximately 10.7.
