Find the missing side of the triangle. Round your answers to the nearest tenth if necessary. 9 ft

2.5 ft

9.4 ft

7.5 ft

Given:

In a right angle triangle, the measures of two legs are 5 ft and 5.6 ft. The measure of the hypotenuse is x.

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

Pythagoras theorem: In a right angle triangle,

Using Pythagoras theorem, we get

Taking square root on both sides, we get

The measure of missing side is 7.5 ft. Therefore, the correct option is D.
