The way to find the missing side of a triangle-THIS ONLY WORKS ON RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLES-is square both sides seperately and then add them together to give you the square of the missing side-find the square root and that is the size of the missing side-eg. if you have a RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE with sides of 3inch and 4inch then (3x3) + (4x4) = 25 so the square root of 25 is 5 meaning the missing side is 5inch.

Why is pythagorus theorem useful?
to find the missing side of a triangle
How do you find a missing exterior angle of a triangle?
At each vertex of a triangle, an exterior angle of the triangle may be formed by extending ONE SIDE of the triangle.
How do you find the missing measurements of a triangle if you only know one side?
they are all the same length
How do you find the length to a missing side of a right triangle?
Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2= c2 where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the side of a right triangle opposite to the right angle.
