Question

a=?,b=24,c=40 find a

Answer 1

?

Answer 2

We have to find the missing side and the missing side for this triangle is a- our etcher says to use a squared+b squared= c squared but I'm confused

Answer 3

You want to solve \[a^2+24^2=40^2\]If you solve for a, you find \[a=\sqrt{40^2-24^2}=\sqrt{1600-576}=\sqrt{1024}=32\]So \(a=32\)
