Question 1098036: one side of the triangle is 10 the other is 5 and the last is unknown
using c squared=a squared + b squared what is the working out and the last side Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You didn't say the triangle was a right triangle. However, since you are using I will assume it is.
There are of course two possibilities, with two different answers. The missing side could be the longest side (hypotenuse), with the 5 and 10 being the legs; or the 10 could be the hypotenuse, with the missing side one of the legs.
(1) If the hypotenuse is the missing side, then it is c, and the 5 and 10 are the a and b. So
