Question

Solve for b.b410b = [?]Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = 2Enter

Answer 1

`b\text{ = }\sqrt[]{84}`

Here, we want to use the Pythagoras' theorem to get the value of one the legs of the triangle

From what we have, we can see the hypotenuse which is the longest side and the side that faces the right angle

Using the theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let us have the missing length as b

Mathematically, we have that;

`\begin{gathered} 10^2=4^2+b^2 \\ b^2\text{ = 100 - 16} \\ b^2\text{ = 84} \\ b\text{ = }\sqrt[]{84} \end{gathered}`
