What are the values of a and b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a = 8, b = 2√17 a = 18, b = 2√17 a = 8, b = 8√17 a = 64, b = 68

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiple choice.

hartnn (hartnn):

'a' will be the geometric mean of 32 and 2 so, \(a=\sqrt{32 \times 2}\)=... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be the last one?

hartnn (hartnn):

\(a=\sqrt{64}=..?\) then you can find the value of b using pythgoras theorem in triangle with sides, a,b and 2

hartnn (hartnn):

not just 64..its \(a=\sqrt{64}=...?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8..?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, a=8 can you find b using pythagoras theorem ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

hartnn (hartnn):

2 what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a = 8, b = 2√17 ?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, thats correct! good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thankyou(:

hartnn (hartnn):
