Instructions: Find the missing side of the triangle.
48
50

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

48 ^2 + x^2 = 50^2

2304+x^2=2500

x^2 = 2500-2304

x^2 =196

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(196)

x = 14

14

Step-by-step explanation:

Use A^2+B^2=C^2

A=48

C=50

So B=sqrt(C^2-A^2)

B=sqrt(50^2-48^2)

B=sqrt(2500-2304)

B=sqrt(196)

B=14
