The missing side is the opposite or the adjacent of the right triangle
The length of the missing side is 9.9
How to determine the length of the missing side?
To calculate the length of the missing side, we make use of the following Pythagoras theorem.
16.5^2 = 13.2^2 +a^2
Evaluate the exponents
272.25 = 174.24 +a^2
Collect like terms
a^2 = 272.25 - 174.24
Evaluate the like terms
a^2 = 98.01
Take the square roots of both sides
a = 9.9
Hence, the length of the missing side is 9.9
