Answer:

14.87 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of all right triangles share the same relationship known as the Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c². Substitute the lengths of the triangle into the theorem and solve for the unknown side. Since the problem does have an attached a picture, assume that a = 10, b = 11, and c = x.

10² + 11² = x²

100 + 121 = 221²

221 = x²

√221 = √x²

14.87 = x
