Find the length of the missing side.
40 ft
75 ft
The length of the missing side is
ft.

  85 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the length of the hypotenuse (c) is related to the lengths of the legs (a, b) of a right triangle by ...

  c^2 = a^2 +b^2

  c^2 = (40 ft)^2 +(75 ft)^2 = 7225 ft^2

  c = √(7225 ft^2) = 85 ft

The length of the missing side is 85 ft.

x = 23.78
