What is the missing length of the side of this triangle?

5

using the Pythagorean theory to get the formula leg^2+leg^2=Hypotenuse^2 (Or A^2+B^2=C^2) You get \[4^{2}+3^{2}=25 25=c^2 So you just take the square root of 25 to get 5 for the missing side Just remember that if 3 were the other line the proper formula would be 4^2+b^2=3^2

you must use a^2+b^2=c^2 whe you do the algebra you get \[\sqrt{9+16}\] this =\[\sqrt{25}\] which is known to be 5
