Question

HELP WILL FAN AND MEDAL! On a right triangle, how do I use the Pythagorean theorem to find b=10 c=25 and a=?

Answer 1

the formula is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
so you need to plug into the values for each variable.
a^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

Answer 2

You need to simplify the problem by squaring what numbers can be squared.
a^2 + 100 = 625
Next you need to isolate the a variable by subtracting 100 from both sides.
a^2 = 525
Now you need to take the square root of both sides to get your answer for a.
a=22.91
