u can use Pythagoras Theorem

anonymous · Answer

I don't really get that. Can you help me with these 3 problems?

anonymous · Answer

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is your basic equation to work with.  Each problem gives you two of the three variables.  Substitute what's given into the equation and solve for the remaining variable.

1)c^2=a^2-b^2=144-81=63 c=sqr63=close to 8 2)b^2=c^2-a^2=1225-196=1029 b=sqr1029=32 3)a^2=c^2-b^2=1681-16=1665 a=sqr1665=40 also check this link...it may help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

anonymous · Answer

144 - 81 =63 which is nearly equal to 8 so the c may be 8
 1225 - 196 = 1029 which is equal to 32 so the b is 32
 1681 - 16 =1665 which is equal to 40 so the a is 40 if u like this answer plz click the good answer button
