Use the pythagorean theorem

OpenStudy (jirehnbush):

da wat now

OpenStudy (photon336):

[a^{2}+b^{2} = c^{2} ] \[c^{2}-b^{2} = a^{2}\]

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[(21)^{2}-(8)^{2} = a^{2}\] ?

OpenStudy (jirehnbush):

19.4

OpenStudy (photon336):

nice work if you want to double check take a look here \[(21)^{2}-(8)^{2} = 441-64 = 377 \] to find a we need to take the square root of both sides. \[377 = a^{2} \] \[\sqrt{377} = \sqrt{a^{2}} ~~ 19.42~ = a \]
