what do u think?

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1427584672238:dw| \[\huge\rm a^2 +b^2 = c^2\]formula to find one missing side C is hypotenuse which is big side of the right triangle

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

14*14+20*20 and find the square root or no?

Nnesha (nnesha):

C = ??

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

596

Nnesha (nnesha):

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 c is hypotenuse which is the biggest side of the right triangle

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1427584979137:dw|

Nnesha (nnesha):

a = ?? b= ?? c= ?

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

596?

Nnesha (nnesha):

how did you substitute values into the formula ??

OpenStudy (chunkymonkay):

b=14 a=20

nvm got it right thanks anyway

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Chunkymonkay b=14 a=20 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) b is not 14 you have to solve for b

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1427585798423:dw| hypotenuse (c) = 20 so replace c by 20 a = 14 b = solve for it
