Exercise 3 Page 486

To find the missing side of the triangle, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem. a^2+b^2=c^2 In the formula, a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. We are given a triangle with a=x, b=4, and c=8.

Let's substitute these values into the formula. Since a negative side length does not make sense, we only need to consider positive solutions. Calculating the root, we can see that x is not an integer. Therefore, the side lengths do not form a Pythagorean Triple.
