Question

find the missing side length. assume that all intersecting sides meet at right angles. include the correct unit in your answer. 14 cm 7 cm 16 cm ? 9 cm 6 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze horizontal sides

The total horizontal length is 14 cm, and one part is 6 cm. Let the missing horizontal side be \( x \). So, \( 6 + x = 14 \).

Step2: Solve for x

Subtract 6 from both sides: \( x = 14 - 6 = 8 \) cm. We can verify with vertical sides too (16 - 7 - 9 = 0, but horizontal is key here).

Answer:

8 cm
