Sketch The Right Triangle And Find The Length Of The Side Not Given If Necessary Approximate The Light To The Nearest Thousandth class=

Sagot :

Let's take a look at our triangle:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we'll have that:

[tex]h^2=12^2+16^2[/tex]

Solving for h,

[tex]\begin{gathered} h^2=12^2+16^2 \\ \rightarrow h=\sqrt[]{12^2+16^2} \\ \rightarrow h=\sqrt[]{400} \\ \\ \Rightarrow h=20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

This way, we can conlcude that the missing side measures 20 units.
