The height of a triangle is 9, the length is 5, what is the third side?

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the third side. The third side must be the hypotenuse since the height (vertical leg) is 9, and the length (horizontal leg) is 5.

a² + b² = c², where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. Plug in 5 and 9 for a and b; solve for c.

5² + 9² = c² ⇒ 25 + 81 = c²

106 = c²

Square root both sides.

c = 10.3

Third side: 10.3

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
