To find the missing side of a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that for a right triangle with legs \( a \) and \( b \) and hypotenuse \( c \):
\[
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\]
If you specify which side is missing (one of the legs or the hypotenuse) as well as the known lengths, I can help you solve for \( x \).
For example, if you have a right triangle with one leg measuring 5 and the other leg \( x \), and the hypotenuse measuring \( c \):
1. If \( c \) (the hypotenuse) is known:
\[
5^2 + x^2 = c^2
\]
Then solve for \( x \).
2. If \( x \) is one of the legs and the other leg is known:
\[
5^2 + x^2 = c^2
\]
Then solve for \( c \).
Please provide the known side lengths, and I'll help you find the missing side!

The hypotenuse is 33 and the leg is 5 what's the other thing
