Answer:
≈ 31.7 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
let the missing side be x , then using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 9² = 33²
x² + 81 = 1089 ( subtract 81 from both sides )
x² = 1008 ( take square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{1008}[/tex] ≈ 31.7 yd ( to the nearest tenth )
