a^2 + b^2 = c^2 30^2 + x^2 = 50^2 solve for x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

after you find x, you plug it into x^2 + 9^2 = y^2 to find y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i take the square root of 1600 to get rid of x^2 so it will just equal x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which is x = 40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what i got!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x^2 + 9^2 = y^2 40^2 + 9^2 = y^2 ... ... ... y = ??

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok that's great

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for y i got 41

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

perfect x = 40 y = 41

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you very much
