Find the exact length of the third side.
48
14

118

Step-by-step explanation:

It has to equal 180 degrees in total so 48+14=62

180-62=118

So the answer is 118

i don't even know man. edge inuity be messing with us. i had to ask a question too.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
