Answer:
the missing side is 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the Pythagorean theorem, ([tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]), for right triangles, you get [tex]4^{2} + (2\sqrt{5}) ^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]. Since the square cancels the square root for side b you get [tex](2^{2})*(5)[/tex] which equals 20. This makes your equation go to 16+20 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]. Then add the numbers to make [tex]36=c^{2}[/tex] solve for c by taking the square root of both sides to get c = 6.
