Find the missing side length. Tell if the side lengths form a Pythagorean triple. Explain.

The length of the missing side of the triangle is 15.

To calculate the length of the side of the triangle we must use the Pythagorean theorem:

b =

In this formula we can replace the value of a and c with the distances of the other sides of the triangle.

b =

b =

b =

b = 15

According to the above, the length of side b is 15.
