Find the length of the missing side of the triangle shown below. Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

x=8in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown side=xin

Hypotenuse^2=opposite^2+adjacent^2

Hyp=17in

Opp=xin

Adj=15in

Hyp^2=opp^2+adj^2

17^2=x^2+15^2

17^2-15^2=x^2

289-225=x^2

64=x^2

x=√64

x=8in

explanation:

infrared radiation has wavelength in the range between 700 nm and 1 mm. lets' convert these values into scientific notation, keeping in mind that:

let's start from the lower value, we have:

(we moved the dot two places to the left, so we increased the exponent by 2 units, from -9 to -7)

the higher value is:

so, the range of wavelength of infrared radiation is:

if i'm not wrong, i would say that the third angle has (72) because the three sides of all triangles have 180 degrees and if we subtract 180 - 62 - 40 = (72) / but i'm not sure about 40 yd.
