Find $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Pythagorean theorem)

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Evaluate powers $\"\"$ and $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Addition: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Take the square root of each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel square root)

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute: $\"\"$ )

\

Length cannot be negative, so the missing length is $\"\"$ .

\

Therefore, $\"\"$ .
