Question

Can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b if c is 13 and a is 12

Answer 1

Answer:b=5

Step-by-step explanation:the formular for pythagoras theory is

C^2=a^2+b^2

13^2=12^2+b^2

169=144+b^2

Collect like terms

169-144=b^2

b^2=25

Take the the square root of both sides

b=square root of 25

b=5
