Answer:
c = 10.29417310909429
[c = 10.29 (rounded)]
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle, there is a specific method to find a missing side. The two straight edges (that make up the 90-degree corner) can be called leg a and leg b. The longer side, which is called the hypotenuse, can also be called c.
(leg / side)
The relation between these sides is that:
a² + b² = c²
This is called the Pythagorean theorem.
For your triangle, leg a is 6.6, and leg b is 7.9, and the missing side (x) will be represented as c
6.6² + 7.9² = c²
43.56 + 62.41 = c²
105.97 = c²
[tex]\sqrt{105.97} = \sqrt{c^2}[/tex]
10.29417310909429 = c
c = 10.29417310909429
c = 10.29 (rounded)
