Find the length of the missing side. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth

Answer:
c = 14.9
Step-by-step explanation:
By Pythagorean formula (see attached illustration)
c² = 5² + 14²
c² = 221
c = √221
c = 14.866
c = 14.9 (nearest tenth)
To answer this question you must use Pythagorean theorem
[tex]a^{2} +b^{2}=c^{2}[/tex]
a and b are the legs (the sides that form a perpendicular/right angle)
c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
In this case...
a = 5
b = 14
c = unknown
^^^Plug these numbers into the theorem
[tex]5^{2} +14^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]
solve for c
25 + 196 = c²
221 = c²
c = √221
c ≈ 14.7
