Question 467403: Hello,
How do I find the length of a triangle when the sides are 8 and x and the one side is missing but it's a 90 degree angle? I've tried the pyth. theroem. And I would try the distance formula but there is no coordinates. Also the triangle has another triangle attached to it. The 2nd triangle has the coordinates 3.5 and 7 and it is also 90 degrees.
