Find the length of the missing side of this right triangle.

You mean this, with the missing side being c? |dw:1377020451590:dw|

|dw:1377021368639:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. Use the Pythagorean Theorem. a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so c^2 = a^2 + b^2 In your case, a = 7", and b = 4". First find c^2, then take the square root to find c.

OpenStudy (nurali):

Using the formula c^2 = a^2 + b^2 c^2 = 7^2 + 4^2 c^2 = 49 + 16 c^2 = 65 c = 8.06
