Find the unknown side length in the given triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth.(
I apologize, but you did not provide the measurements of the given triangle.
30 on one side and 20 on the other
To find the unknown side length of the triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
Let's label the sides of the triangle:
The unknown side length: x
One side length: 30
The hypotenuse: 20
According to the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
x^2 + 30^2 = 20^2
Simplifying the equation:
x^2 + 900 = 400
Subtracting 900 from both sides:
x^2 = 400 - 900
x^2 = -500
Since we cannot have a negative length for a side, it seems that the given measurements do not form a valid right triangle. Please double-check the provided information and ensure that it is accurate.
try 20 on one side and 30 on the other
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again with the corrected measurements.
Given that one side of the triangle has a length of 20 and the other side has a length of 30, we need to find the length of the unknown side.
Again, we can use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where:
a = length of one side = 20
b = length of the other side = 30
c = length of the unknown side
Plugging in the values into the equation:
20^2 + 30^2 = c^2
400 + 900 = c^2
1300 = c^2
To find c, we take the square root of both sides:
c = √1300
Using a calculator to find the square root, we get:
c ≈ 36.06
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the unknown side length is approximately 36.06 units.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try again with the correct measurements.
Given that one side of the triangle has a length of 20 and the other side has a length of 30, we need to find the length of the unknown side.
Again, we can use the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where:
a = length of one side = 20
b = length of the other side = 30
c = length of the unknown side
Plugging in the values into the equation:
20^2 + 30^2 = c^2
400 + 900 = c^2
1300 = c^2
To find c, we take the square root of both sides:
c = √1300
Using a calculator to find the square root, we get:
c ≈ 36.06
Rounded to two decimal places, the unknown side length is approximately 36.06 units.
