Answer:

36        ( or possibly  sqrt (2754)  )

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side   (you will have to try two different times because you do not know what is missing....a leg or the hypotenuse)

27^2 + 45^2 = x^2     x = sqrt2754=52.4786     although this is one true answer, I do not think it is what the question seeks

let's try

27^2 + x^2 = 45^2     x = 36    Check !
