How do you find a missing side on a triangle?

Answer 1

If you have at least 2 of the angle measurements and are trying to find the measurement of a missing angle you should do this: When you have the measurement of two angles, add them together. Then subtract the total from 180(always the sum of all of the triangle's angle's measurements). It will give you the measurement of the missing angle.

If you are trying to find the length of the missing side, then use the Pythagorean theorem (a squared+b squared=c squared, c being the missing side) THIS ONLY WORKS FOR RIGHT TRIANGLES, however.

first of all this didnt help me. second that therom is stupid cuz im only in 8th grade integrated algebra! get me a good answer jeez. i need to find the missing lenngth help me someone

Honey, the thereom is the only way to get the right answer. And I'm in 7th grade, so get over the "you're only in 8th grade" I'm in 7th grade and understood what he said.

I'd suggest using the answer he gave, 'cause that's the best you can get.
