first find what a^2 and b^2 are
if a is 3, what is a^2
if b is 10, what is b^2
JakFishman:
a^2 is 6
b^2 is 20?
Florisalreadytaken:
7 minutes oof
its a^2 not a*2...
a number in exponential form its the number times itself
eg. a^2 = a*a
JakFishman:
i dont understand

look at the table
its stated that \( a_1=3 \) AND \( a_2=7 \)
with that information, we can fill up the 4th column, which is asking for \( a^2=? \)
so for the first a, we have \( 3^2 \Rightarrow 3\cdot 3 =?? \)
JakFishman:
9
Florisalreadytaken:
great, so we insert the 9 right there (check attached files)
do the same with the second a, and both b

109
Florisalreadytaken:
correct --
we have to go back to finding c there in the 3rd column.
so we know that \( c^2=109 \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ c=\sqrt{109} \)
\[ \LARGE c=?? \]

just find the square roots, and done
for the 2 triangles of your own i suggest you to do the classic 3 4 5 triangle, and another random one
