Use the Pyhtagorean Theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

12+b^2=18

Solve for b^2.

anonymous · Answer

"square root of one hundred eighty centimeters"$$\sqrt{18^2-12^2}=\sqrt{180} $$

the_fizicx99 · Answer

o.0 That would be 12^2 + b^2 = 18^2

144 + b^2 = 324
-144             -144

b^2 = 180

Square root
