QuestionIf the opposite side of a triangle is 12.4 units long, and the hypotenuse is 67.8 units long, what is the length of the side adjacent? (A) 66.54 units (B) 66.65 units (C) 66.66 units (D) 66.67 units

Studdy Solution
Calculate the squares and the difference:
$$b^2 = 4598.44 - 153.76$$ $$b^2 = 4444.68$$
Take the square root to find $b$:
$$b = \sqrt{4444.68}$$ $$b \approx 66.67$$
The length of the side adjacent is approximately:
$$\boxed{66.67 \text{ units}}$$
