_{^{Find the missing side}}

• 9

• 41

• 6.4

• 3

We are given one of the sides and the hypotenuse.

Find the length of the missing side length.

(Hint: distance from the wall to the bottom of the ladder)

• 7

• 5

• 11

• 25

a² + b² = c^{2
a = 9 b = 40}

• c = 41

• c = 65

• c = 25

• c = 5

a² + b² = c^{2
b = 35 c = 37}

• a = 12

• a = 11

• a = 18

• a = 14
