Given:

In a right angle triangle, the measures of two legs are 5 ft and 5.6 ft. The measure of the hypotenuse is x.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

[tex](Hypotenuse)^2=(Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2[/tex]

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

[tex](x)^2=(5)^2+(5.6)^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2=25+31.36[/tex]

[tex]x^2=56.36[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides, we get

[tex]x=\sqrt{56.36}[/tex]

[tex]x=7.50733[/tex]

[tex]x\approx 7.5[/tex]

The measure of missing side is 7.5 ft. Therefore, the correct option is D.
