find the missing side

The answer you are looking for is 6.5.
To find this answer, you use the equation a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse (the side with x in this case).
Next, fill in a and b with the two values given. Doing so will make the equation say 6² + 2.5² = c².
Now you solve for c.
6² = 36 and 2.5² = 6.25. (36 + 6.25 = c²)
36 + 6.25 = 42.25. (42.25 = c²)
√42.25 = 6.5. (6.5 = c)
Thus meaning 6.5 is the answer. I hope this helps!
Answer:
[tex]6.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] {6}^{2} + {2.5}^{2} = {x}^{2} \\ 36 + 6.25 = {x}^{2} \\ 42.25 = {x}^{2} \\ \\ x = \sqrt{42.25} \\ x = 6.5[/tex]
Use the Pythagorean theorem.
It's easy if you use a calculator.
Thanks.
