Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the missing side length. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

a = 8 b = c = 10

Answer 1

B= 6

Explanation:

pythagorean theorem formula is a² + b² = c²

so: 8² + b² = 10²

then: 64 + b² = 100

subtract 64 from both sides to get b²= 36

square root 36 and you get 6 for b

answer: B= 6
