Find the unknown side of the triangle below (round to the nearest tenth).
A. 20.5cm
B.5.4cm
C. 16cm
D. 210.5cm

Answer:
A. 20.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this equation for the missing side length, X.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
We have a and b, we just need c, the hypotenuse.
14^2 + 15^2 = c^2
196 + 225 = c^2
421 = c^2
Now, we will square both sides:
The answer is about 20.5
