Answer:
5.56cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
hyp=16cm
say the adjecent= 15
let the hypotenuse be z
and the adjacent be x, while the missing side, the opposite be y
by Pythagoras theorem
[tex]z^2=y^2+x^2[/tex]
[tex]z=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}[/tex]
substitute the values we have
[tex]16^2=y^2+15^2\\\\256=y^2+225\\\\256-225=y^2\\31=y^2\\\\y=\sqrt{31}[/tex]
[tex]y=5.56cm[/tex]
The other side is 5.56cm
