To use the Pythagorean Theorem, let's assume one side is the base, another side is the height, and the remaining side is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Let's call the missing side "x."
According to the Pythagorean Theorem:
x^2 = 20^2 + 30^2
x^2 = 400 + 900
x^2 = 1300
To find "x," we take the square root of both sides:
x = √1300
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, "x" is approximately 36.06.
use the Pythagorean Theorem
both side sides are 20 and one is 30 so whats the other side use round to the nearest 100th
