To find the missing side of the right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which 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.
In this case, we can label x as the missing side. Thus, we have the equation:
x^2 = 75^2 + 62^2
Simplifying this equation, we get:
x^2 = 5625 + 3844
x^2 = 9469
Taking the square root of both sides, we find:
x ≈ √9469 ≈ 97.3
So, the missing side of the right triangle is approximately 97.3 (rounded to the nearest tenth).
