Since the Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the sum of the squares of the lengths of the two legs is equal to the square of the length of the hypotenuse, we can use it to find the relationship of the sides in this triangle.
In the given triangle, angle M measures 28 degrees and angle N measures 62 degrees. Since angle M is acute and angle N is obtuse, we can conclude that side MN is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Therefore, we can write the relationship of the sides as:
o^2 + n^2 = m^2
Use the image to answer the question.
A triangle has the vertices labeled upper M upper N upper O. Upper N upper O is labeled m, upper M upper N is labeled o, and upper O upper M is labeled n. Angle upper N measures 62 degrees and angle upper M measures 28 degrees.
