Need help with this please

Answer 1

Answer:

The third side is sqrt(77)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

2^2 + b^2 = 9^2

4+ b^2 = 81

Subtract 4 from each side

b^2 = 81-4

b^2=77

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(77)

b = sqrt(77)

The third side is sqrt(77)
