find the length of a missing side of the triangle around your nearest tenth

Using the Pythagorean theorem:
14^2 = 8^2 + x^2
196 = 64 + x^2
Subtract 64 from both sides:
132 = x^2
Take the square root of both sides:
X = 11.49
Rounded to nearest tenth = 11.5
Answer:
missing side = 11.5
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]a^{2} = c^{2} - b^{2}[/tex]
[tex]a^{2} = 14^{2} - 8^{2}[/tex]
[tex]a^{2} = 196 - 64[/tex]
[tex]a^{2} = 132[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{a^{2} } - \sqrt{132}[/tex]
a = 11.489
round to the nearest tenth:
11.489 = 11.5
