Find the length, x, of the third side of the triangle.

Explanation:

This is a visual example of the pythagorean theorem. We add the areas of the two squares to get

13+29.25 = 42.25

Then we apply the square root to this to get the value of x, which is the hypotenuse of the right triangle

x = sqrt(42.25) = 6.5

Side note: if you're curious about finding the other lengths of the triangle, apply the square root to those areas. The blue area 29.25 will lead to a side length of approximately sqrt(29.25) = 5.4083269; the red square will follow the same idea.

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a square=a²

A=29.25

a=side=√29.25 first square

second square =a=√13

find x(c)

right triangle: a²+b²=c²

(√29.25 )²+(√13)²=c²

29.25+13=c²

c=√(29.25+13)=6.5 unit
