Chapter 0, Problem 26PO

To determine

To evaluate: the missing measure.

Answer to Problem 26PO

The missing measure is 30.59cm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $a=33cm,b=?cm,c=45cm$

The diagram related to the given parameters is shown below,

  

Applying the Pythagoras theorem,

  $\begin{array}{c}{33}^2+b^2={45}^2\\ b^2=2025-1089\\ b^2=936\\ b=30.59cm\end{array}$

So, the missing measure is 30.59cm.
