To find the missing measurement for side C, we need more information about the context of the problem. Are sides A, B, and C part of a triangle? If so, you may be looking for several possibilities, like the length of C being determined by the triangle inequality theorem, or perhaps it is a specific type of triangle like a right triangle.
-
If it's a right triangle: You can use the Pythagorean theorem \( C^2 = A^2 + B^2 \).
- Given A = 20 cm and B = 48 cm: \[ C = \sqrt{20^2 + 48^2} = \sqrt{400 + 2304} = \sqrt{2704} = 52 \text{ cm} \]
-
If it's not a right triangle, there are other relationships between A, B, and C depending on the known angles or if it meets the triangle inequality theorem.
Could you please specify how sides A, B, and C are related?
