Question

Pythagorean Theorem with an Unknown Leg

Answer 1

Answer: 5.7

Explanation:

If leg b is unknown, then. b = √(c² - a²)

b = √(6² - 2²)

b = √(36 - 4)

b = √32

b = 5.656

b = 5.7

Answer 2

`b {}^(2) + 2 {}^(2) = 6 {}^(2) \\ b {}^(2) = 6 {}^(2) - 2 {}^(2) \\ b {}^(2) = 36 - 4 \\ b {}^(2) = 32 \\ b = √(32)`

Answer 32
