It seems like there might have been an error in the way the problem was presented. However, I can guide you through how to find the missing side of a right triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.
The Pythagorean theorem states that for a right triangle with legs \(a\) and \(b\), and hypotenuse \(c\):
\[
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\]
If you have two sides given (let's say one leg is \(a\) and the other leg is \(b\)), and you need to find the hypotenuse \(c\), you can rearrange the theorem to:
\[
c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
\]
If you know one leg and the hypotenuse and want to find the other leg, you would rearrange the theorem to:
\[
b = \sqrt{c^2 - a^2}
\]
If you provide the specific lengths of the sides given in your triangle, I can help you calculate the missing side.
