To find the unknown side length, you can use the Pythagorean theorem which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the longest side) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Let's assume that the unknown side length is "x".
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 20² + 30²
x² = 400 + 900
x² = 1300
Taking the square root of both sides:
x ≈ √1300
x ≈ 36.06
Therefore, the unknown side length is approximately 36.06 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Find the unknown side length in the given triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth. (1 point)
