use the Pythagorean Theorem

both side sides are 20 and one is 30 so whats the other side

1 answer

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of the other side. Let's denote the length of the unknown side as "x".

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b):

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

In this case, we have:
c = 30 (one side is 30)
a = 20
b = 20

(c^2 = a^2 + b^2)
(30^2 = 20^2 + 20^2)
(900 = 400 + 400)

Simplifying the equation:
(900 = 800)

The equation is incorrect, which means that there is no triangle with sides measuring 20, 20, and 30. Please double-check the information provided.
