Question

What is 10 squared plus b squared equals 22 squared

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure you are asking for the value of b. Let's actually write it and then solve it:

`10^2 + b^2 = 22^2`

Solving for b yields:

`b = √(22^2-10^2) = √(484-100) = √(384) = 19.59`

So, b = 19.59. If you want the answer in simplified radical form, we can also do that:

`√(384) = √(16*24) = 4 √(24) = 4 √(4*6) = 8 √(6)`

So, b = 8√6 = 19.59
