Question 204600: Find the length of the missing side of the right triangle. Round to three decimal places, if necessary.
a= 12, c = 20 Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the missing side of a right triangle in which a = 12, c = 20, b = ?
Assuming that side c is the hypotenuse, then you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find side b: Substitute a = 12 and c = 20. Simplify. Subtract 144 from both sides of the equation. Take the square root of both sides.
