The triangle is a right triangle with a missing leg length of 24.

The triangle is a right triangle with a missing side of 34.99.

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean theorem: 18^2 + b^2 = 30^2 → b^2 = 900 − 324 = 576 → b = 24.

So it’s a right triangle with the missing leg length 24 (legs 18 and 24, hypotenuse 30).
