To find the missing side of the triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let's assume that one of the given sides, which is 25, represents the hypotenuse, and the other side, which is 7, represents one of the other two sides.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can solve for the missing side (let's call it x):
x^2 = 25^2 - 7^2
x^2 = 625 - 49
x^2 = 576
Taking the square root of both sides to solve for x:
x = √576
x = 24
So, the missing side of the triangle is 24.
find the missing side of the triangle. 25 and 7 are the two sides.
