Find the length of the missing side. The triangle is not drawn to scale.
20.
D. 100
A. 10
c. 28
B. 48

Answer:
A: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagorean theorem we know a^2+b^2=c^2
8^2+6^2=?^2
64+36=?^2
100=?^2
?=10
The given right angle triangle has a side 6 unit and 8 unit. So, the length of the missing side of the triangle will be 10 units.
If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:
|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2
where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).
The given right angle triangle has a side 6 unit and 8 unit. we need to find the missing side.
Let the missing side be x which is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Using the Pythagorean theorem we know
[tex]|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2[/tex]
[tex]8^2+6^2=x^2\\64+36=x^2\\100=x^2\\x=10[/tex]
Hence, the length of the missing side of the triangle will be 10 units.
