The most common drainage pattern is A, dendritic.
When a volcano erupts without any indication.
Okay, so you take the length of your hypotenuse (17) and plug it into the pythagorean theorem as C. And then plug the given side (15) into A or B (doesn't matter which). So:
<span><span>a2</span>+<span>152</span>=<span>172</span></span>
<span><span>a2</span>+225=289</span>
Now isolate a^2 by subtracting 225 from both sides of the equation.
<span><span>a2</span>=64</span><span>
Find the square root of both sides to find the missing value.
a = 8</span>
