The missing side length of the right angle triangle is 20
How to solve missing sides using Pythagoras theorem
Pythagoras theorem States that the square of the longest side of a triangle is equal to the sum of the square of the opposite side and no square of the adjacent side.
- The diagram is a right angle triangle with sides AB, BC and CA.
BC² = AB² + CA²
(15 + 6)² = x² + 8²
21² = x² + 8²
21² - 8² = x²
441 - 64 = x²
377 = x²
- find the square root of both sides
x = √377
x = 19.41648783894759891856148511263886343
Approximately to the nearest whole number
= 20
