Answer:

Other Side (B) = 9.45 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Hypotenuse = 10 inches

Other Side (A) = 3.25 inches

Find:

Other Side (B) = ?

Computation:

According to Pythagoras theorem:

[tex]Hypotenuse^2= (Perpendicular)^2+(Base)^2\\\\Hypotenuse^2= (A)^2+(B)^2\\\\10^2= (3.25)^2+(B)^2\\\\100=10.5625 +(B)^2\\\\89.4375 = (B)^2\\\\B=\sqrt{89.4375}\\\\B=9.4571[/tex]

Other Side (B) = 9.45 inches
