$a^2 +b^2=c^2$

sooobored · Answer

where a is your base, 
c is your hypothenuse

my base is 35

mathmale · Answer

Yes.  The hypotenuse is given, and you can easily find the square of the hypotenuse.  How would you then write these two squares in an equation that would give you the value of the square of the unknown side length?
