Answer 3

what's the square root of 676?

Answer 4

26

Answer 5

well, i was hoping 123 would answer

Answer 6

aha my bad

Answer 7

but yes, it's 26. and now that we know that, we know that a right triangle has a leg of 10 and a hypotenuse of 26. so we can use the Pythagorean theorem to fin the side of square a

Answer 8

find*

Answer 9

yeah idk how to even use the Pythagorean theorem an im in 9th grade anit that sad aha

Answer 10

lol :) the Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. where a and b are the legs of a right triangle and c is the hypotenuse

Answer 11

well i have to go. you can solve it from here :)

Answer 12

OK. Sorry, my computer froze for a few minutes.

Answer 13

Thanks, though, Ari! You're the best :-)

Answer 14

a^2+10^2=√26

Answer 21

Is the answer 26 in?

Answer 22

then, the leftover is \(\sqrt{26^2-10^2}\) =24
