Hi Vance :)

a=leg unknow
b=leg
c=hypotenuse

a²+b²=c²
a²=c²-b²
a²=145² - 144²
a²=21,025 - 20,736
a²=289
a=√289
a=17

unknow leg = 17 units

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 2x + 8?
zubka84 [21]
Using the quadratic equation we get:
\frac{ - 2 + - \sqrt{4 - 32} }{2} = \frac{ - 2 + - \sqrt{ - 28} }{2}

Factoring out 2 we get
\frac{ - 2 + - 2\sqrt{ - 7} }{2} = - 1( + - ) \sqrt{ - 7}
Factoring out the imaginary number:
- 1 + \sqrt{7} i \: (and) \: - 1 - \sqrt{7} i
So b.
