Ruth develops a blueprint with the help of a triangle. The longest side of the instrument measures 14 inches and one of the sides measures 12 inches. Determine the length of the other side of the instrument.

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem

a

You've been given the longest side = 14 and the side of the triangle = 12,

Do [tex]14^{2} - 12^{2}[/tex], which will give you an answer of 52.

After doing this since you're calculating a side and you've been given the longest side already it can't possibly be an answer of 52.

Square root 52 and you'll get 7.2.

Your answer should be 7.2 inches.
