Question 443078
If one side of a triangle is 72 inches and the other is 108 inches what is the other side if the angle is 90 degrees where the two meet (the 72 and the 108 sides )
----------------------------
Draw the picture.
The missing side length is the hypotenuse.
Use Pythagoras to solve for "h":
h^2 = 72^2+108^2
h = sqrt[16848]
h = 129.8 inches
