Can't figure this out. Find side B of a right triangle if side A is 12 yd and side B is 15 yd.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if B = 15 yds; then B = 15 yds :)

OpenStudy (jenny12):

Sorry I think they mean side C.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

which side is which? are we finding the slant? the hyppotenuse?

OpenStudy (jenny12):

That's all the problem explained. Find side C of a right triangle if side A is 12 yd and side B is 15 yd.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ore than likely its refering to the hyp; so sqrt(12^2 + 15^2) is the answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

144 225 ----- 369 sqrt(369)
