To find the missing side of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that 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 denote the missing side as x.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
18^2 = 16^2 + x^2
324 = 256 + x^2
68 = x^2
x ≈ √68 ≈ 8.2
Therefore, the missing side is approximately 8.2.
