Question

help please! giving medal

Answer 1

Since this is a right triangle, use pythagorean thereorem

Answer 2

theorem*

Answer 3

a^2 + b^2 = c^2?

Answer 4

pythagorean theorem: \(c^2 =a^2 +b^2\) \[c=10 ~ , ~ a = 3\]

Answer 5

Yes you got it :)

Answer 6

So if you have c^2 = a^2 +b^2 and you're solving for b, you will have

b^2 = c^2 - a^2

Answer 7

oh okay thx

Answer 8

Then to find just the side of the leg, you take the square root. \[b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2}\]
