Answer 2

Use Pythagorean Theorem....

\(\Huge{a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}}\)

Answer 3

Do you understand? @Ms-Brains

Answer 4

Gimme 1 sec to solve this

Answer 5

So like from @sweetburger post we would input the sides of the triangle...

\(\Huge{23^{2}+b^{2}=32^{2}}\) In which we simplify...

\(\Huge\color{purple}{529 + b^{2}=1024}\) In which you would subtract c by a to get b....

\(\Huge\color{green}{1024-529=b^{2}}\) The answer you get you would then find the square root....

\(\Huge\color{red}{\sqrt {1024-529}=b}\)

Answer 6

\[\sqrt[10]{5}\]

Answer 7

I'm so confused still...

Answer 8

What you confused about?

Answer 9

What the answer is..?

Answer 10

First what is the difference between 1024-529

Answer 11

Actually do you want to start over or do you understand where they are getting the numbers from to plug into the equation?

Answer 12

I got no clue..
Can we start over please?

Answer 13

Yes

Answer 14

Say we have a triangle we have side a b and c, c will be the longest, a and b will be the legs of the triangle so it doesn't matter what one you call a and b, but c will always be the longest or the hypotenuse does this make sense?

Answer 15

When I say legs of the triangle I'm saying the sides that meet at a right angle

Answer 16

You okay?

Answer 17

Hey, yeah sorry my OS froze

Answer 18

That's okay

Answer 19

Because we have 2 sides we can you the pythgrean theorem which says if your tying to find 1 side and you have 2 known side you can use the formula
A^2+B^2=C^2 does this make sense?

Answer 20

Wait, I think I got, the final answer would be 22.2 ft, right?

Answer 21

Yes

Answer 22

Thank you!

Answer 23
