Find the length of the third side for a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length 99.1 and a side of length 7.0. Round to the nearest tenth.
Added by Jacob G.
Step 1
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides (a and b). So, we have: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the two shorter sides of the Show more…
