If the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are the two roots of the equation x & # 178; - 6x + 8 = 0, then the length of its third side is________ How do you calculate that

If the lengths of two sides of a right triangle are the two roots of the equation x & # 178; - 6x + 8 = 0, then the length of its third side is________ How do you calculate that

First calculate the length of the two sides as 2,4
If 4 is a right angle side, the length of the third side is √ (4 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 2) = 2 √ 5
If 4 is a hypotenuse, then the third side is √ 4 ^ 2-2 ^ 2 = 2 √ 3
