I'm sorry Robb, but its a long time before I did this kind of sum. I need to get refreshed about this a bit. You can try messaging to someone else for this. Or you can bump it. I'll have to leave now.

ok thank you

Answer 5

Pythagorean theorem states that a triangle, with sides a&b and hypotenuse c, has a hypotenuse whose square is equal to the sum of the sides squared. \[a^2+b^2=c^3\] Since you know 'a' and 'c' and need 'b' you would arrange it \[c^2-a^2=b^2\] then to find b you take the square root of both sides. \[\sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b\]
