Answer:
40 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the hypotenuse = 50yards
Adjacent = 30yeards
The missing length is x
Using the pythagoras theorem
hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2
50^2 = 30^2 + x^2
2500 = 900 + x^2
x^2 = 2500 - 900
x^2 = 1600
x = √1600
x = 40yards
Hence the length of the missing side is 40 yards
