Pythagorean theorem:
a^2+b^2=c^2 (C^2 always is the hypotenuse)

21^2+b^2=29^2
441+b^2=841
841-441=400
square root of 400 is 20
Your answer is 20

Answer:

There is a $\frac{1}{12}$ chance of the spinner landing on red, then three.

Step-by-step explanation:

So the first one has a $\frac{1}{4}$ chance, since there are four possibilities.

The second one has a $\frac{1}{3}$ chance, since there are three possibilities.

So, we just need to combine them.

$\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{12}$
