find the missing side of the right triangle 75 62

Answer 1

In a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the missing side. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

Let the missing side be x. We can use the theorem as follows:

x² = 75² - 62²
x² = 5625 - 3844
x² = 1781

Taking the square root of both sides, we find:

x = √1781 ≈ 42.20

Therefore, the missing side of the right triangle is approximately 42.20 units long.
