    Step-by-step explanation:

    Length of third side

    [tex]= \sqrt{ {24}^{2} + {16}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{576 + 256} \\ = \sqrt{832} \\ = 28.84 \\ \approx \: 28.8 \: in[/tex]

    Or

    Length of third side

    [tex]= \sqrt{ {24}^{2} - {16}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{576 - 256} \\ = \sqrt{320} \\ = 17.8885438 \\ \approx \: 17.9 \: in[/tex]

    The answer is 32

    Step-by-step explanation:

    [tex]a^{2}= b^{2} + c^{2}[/tex]

    [tex]a= \sqrt[2]{a^{2} +c^{2} }[/tex]

    [tex]a= \sqrt[2]{20^{2} +25^{2} }[/tex]

    [tex]a= \sqrt[2]{1025 }[/tex]

    a = 32.02

    The answer is C. 28.8 in

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given a=16 and b=24,

    c = 28.84441 = 8√13

    ∠α = 33.69° = 33°41'24" = 0.588 rad

    ∠β = 56.31° = 56°18'36" = 0.98279 rad

    h = 13.3128

    area = 192

    perimeter = 68.84441

    inradius = 5.57779

    circumradius = 14.42221 = 4√13

    The answer is 50.2 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given a=34 and b=37,

    c = 50.24938

    ∠α = 42.58° = 42°34'50" = 0.74317 rad

    ∠β = 47.42° = 47°25'10" = 0.82763 rad

    h = 25.03514

    area = 629

    perimeter = 121.24938

    inradius = 10.37531

    circumradius = 25.12469

    B. 13.2 m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using the Pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, you can substitute in 9 for a and 16 for c. This puts it at 9^2 + b^2 = 16^2, which equals 81 + b^2 = 256. Subtract 81 from both sides to get b^2 = 175. Take the square root of both sides to get b = sqrt 175. The sqrt of 175 rounded to the nearest tenth is 13.2

    Use Pythagorean Theorem:
    28^2+15^2=c^2
    1009=c^2
    Square both sides:
    31.8
    A

    32^2 + x^2 = 38^2
    1024 + x^2 = 1444
    -1024 -1024
    x^2= 420
    x=20.493901532

    14.6

    Explanation:

    You need the equation [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

    both legs can be "a" or "b" the hypotenuse is "c"

    insert what you know in this equation then solve for the unknown.

    [tex]34^{2} +b^{2} = 37^{2} \\1156+b^{2} = 1369\\b^{2}=213\\[/tex]

    now to cancel out the square you take the square root of both sides giving you: 14.6
