Answer 4

so that would be

Answer 5

Pythagorean theorem.

\(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\)

Where 'a' and 'b' are the two legs, and 'c' is the hypotenuse.

We are given a leg and a hypotenuse.

Plug them in:

\(23^2 + b^2 = 31^2\)

Answer 6

Solve for 'b'

Answer 7

lol

Answer 8

@ 23^+B^=31^

Answer 9

haha didnt see you already wrote it out for me

Answer 10

Simplify 23^2 and 31^2. Can you do that?

Answer 11

Yeah Dude

Answer 12

Okay, tell me what you get.

Answer 13

529 and 961

Answer 14

Yes, so we have:

529 + b^2 = 961

Now subtract 529 to both sies.

Answer 15

*sides

Answer 16

b^2 = 961 - 529

What's 961 - 529?

Answer 17

sorry using B-room

Answer 18

$32

Answer 19

432*

Answer 20

Yes, so we have:

\(b^2 = 432\)

Now we find the square root of both sides:

\(b = \sqrt{432}\)

Can you find the square root of 432?
