To determine the length of the unknown side of the right triangle, we would typically apply the Pythagorean theorem, which states that \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) where \( c \) is the length of the hypotenuse and \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the other two sides.

However, without specific lengths for the known sides or the hypotenuse, I can't directly calculate the unknown side. The options you've provided suggest that the unknown side could be either \( \sqrt{65} \) ft, \( 3 \) ft, \( \sqrt{57} \) ft, or \( 9 \) ft.

To find the correct answer, could you please provide the lengths of the known sides or specify which side you are trying to find?
