The given trinagle is a right angle triangle. let the missing side be x. To find x, we would apply the pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
hypotenuse^2 = one leg^2 + other leg^2
From the triangle,
hypotenuse = 14
one leg = 9
other leg = x
Thus, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} 14^2=9^2+x^2 \\ 196=81+x^2 \\ x^2\text{ = 196 - 81 = 115} \\ x\text{ = }\sqrt[]{115} \\ x\text{ = 10.72} \end{gathered}[/tex]
To the nearest tenth, the length of the third side is 10.7
