Question

Pythagorean theorem W= ? A^2+ B^2= C^2

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the width is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not finding the hypotenuse and we are given it, we have to rearrange the a² + b² = c² equation because that equation is to find the hypotenuse of a right - angled triangle and we are not asked to find the hypotenuse but the width so

a² + b² = c²

→ Substitute in the values

( √3 )² + b² = 2²

→ Simplify equation

3 + b² = 4

→ Minus 3 from both sides to isolate b²

b² = 1

→ Square root both sides to isolate b

b = 1
