Answer 8

For this, you'll need to use the pythagorean theorem
Do you know what that is?

Answer 9

Let's first draw it out

Answer 10

The pythagorean theorem is
\[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]
where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are both the legs

Answer 11

he has the answer tho but
u can do it

Answer 12

By using this we get
\[20^2 + b^2 = 25^2\]
SImplifying that we get
\[400+b^2 = 625\]
and we isolate the b^2
\[b^2 = 225\]
Which is, 15

Answer 13

So, the last side of the triangle is 15
