as last: x² + 5² = 9² x² = 56 x = √56 x = 7.48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same thing i showed you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the pythag theorem a^2+b^2=c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 + 5^2 = 9 ^2 x^2 =56 ==> x=7.48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5^2+x^2=9^2

yea what he said and just simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it says to not solve the equation so just use, \[\sqrt{81-25}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4^2 + 8^2 = b^2 ==> b^2=80 ==> b=8.94

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it gives no 8 as an option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're not really going to learn how to do it by just getting the answer ._. also if you're gonna do it that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in the sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it probably rounds up to 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no round it= b=9
