To find the missing side of the right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The 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 other two sides.
In this case, one side is given as 169 and the other side is given as 119. Let's call the missing side "x". We can set up the equation:
x^2 + 119^2 = 169^2
We can now solve for x. First, simplify the equation:
x^2 + 14161 = 28561
Next, subtract 14161 from both sides:
x^2 = 14400
Take the square root of both sides to find x:
x = √14400
Simplifying the square root:
x = 120
Therefore, the missing side of the right triangle is 120 units long.
