A right triangle has side 14 and hypotenuse 50. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the third side.


Sagot :

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem = h^2=p^2+b^2

We have,

(Hypotenuse)h=50

Let 14 be p, i.e (Perpendicular ,Known side)p=14

(Remaining side ,base)b=?(

Now,  

h^2=p^2+b^2

or, 50^2=14^2+b^2

or, 2500-196=b^2

or, √2304=b

b=48
