Find the unknown side length in the given triangle. Round to the nearest hundredth.
One side is 20
The other side is 30
The bottom is ?
To find the length of the bottom side, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where:
a = 20
b = 30
c = bottom side (unknown)
20^2 + 30^2 = c^2
400 + 900 = c^2
1300 = c^2
c = sqrt(1300)
c ≈ 36.06
Therefore, the length of the bottom side is approximately 36.06 units.
