Question 101671: Tutor,
Could you please check my answer and let me know if I have this answer correct?
Find length x in each triangle. Express your answer in simplified radical form.
longest side is 12, next side is x and botton and smallest side is 8
I got x = sqrt of 80
That seems off to me I am not sure I solved this correctly so I would appreciate your help.
Thank you very much for your help.

Almost!

Your process was correct, it was the "simplified" radical that was incomplete.
