Fill in the a and c and solve it as a two step equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[c^2 -a^2 = b^2\]

14322 squared + b = 43648 squared then solve it as a two step equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14322^2 + b^2 = 46348 -14322 -14322 B^2 = 32026

Exactly!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2 + x^2 = c^2 14322^2 + x^2 = 43648^2 205119684 + x^2 = 1905147904 x^2 = 1905147904 - 205119684 x^2 = 1700028220 x = 41231.4
