Do you know the formula to use for solving this? If so, please post it here.

Hero · Answer

The formula used to solve this is called the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem states that if you have a right triangle, with at least two sides given, you can use the formula to find the length of the third side. The perpendicular sides are usually labeled $a$ and $b$. The longest side is labeled $c$. And the formula used to find the length of the missing side is $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$.
