let's find b first
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ... start with the pythagorean theorem
3^2 + b^2 = 19^2
9 + b^2 = 361
keep going to solve for b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
umm im not sure what to do next
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
b^2 = 361 - 9
b^2 = 352
b = ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subract 19^2 from 3^2?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you mean 3^2 from 19^2

\[\sqrt{352} = 18.76166304 ?????\]
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
im not sure what nearest 10th is i never learned that
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's quite odd, but ok
18.76166304
the tenth place is the 7
the digit after that is a 6 (greater than 5), so we drop everything after the 7 and bump the 7 up to 8
so after rounding 18.76166304 to the nearest tenth, we get 18.8
