Find the missing side. Approximate the answer to three decimal places when appropriate. A=15 yd C=25 yd? Help!

Is this a right triangle?

yes

To find the missing side, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

In this case, we are given sides A and C, and we need to find side B. According to the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

Substituting the given values, we get:

15^2 + B^2 = 25^2

Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of B.

225 + B^2 = 625

To isolate B^2, we subtract 225 from both sides:

B^2 = 625 - 225

B^2 = 400

Now, to find B, we take the square root of both sides:

B = √400

B = 20

So, the missing side, B, is 20 yards.
