Answer: b=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you must solve for b from the formula for the hypotenuse, as you can see below:

- Square both sides of the equation as following:

c^{2}=(\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}})^{2}

- Now you must subtract a² from each side of the equation, then you obtain:

c^2-a^{2}=a^{2}-a^{2}+b^{2}

c^2-a^{2}=b^{2}

- Apply square root to both sides:

\sqrt{b^{2}}=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}

Then:

b=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}

Square both sides

c² = a² + b² ( subtract a² from both sides )

c² - a² = b² ( take the square root of both sides )

\sqrt{c^2-a^2} = b

⇒ b = \sqrt{c^2-a^2}

You might need to use the distance formula

for the distance betwen (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
D= \sqrt{(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2}

so find disance between (-3,1) and (-1,3)
and (-1,3) and (3,1)
so
if we did input them
we would get 6+2 \sqrt{2}+2 \sqrt{5} which is the peirmiter

Hector is competing in a 42-mile bicycle race. He has
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Let x = the hours needed for Wanda to catch up to Hector.

Hector has already completed 18 miles. Hector travels at 12 miles per hour.

After x more hours, Hector will travel

18 + 12x miles

Wanda travels at 16 miles per hour. In x hours, she travels

16x miles

If Wanda catches up to Hector, then

16x = 18 + 12x

4x = 18

x = 4.5 hours

Answer:  4 hours, 30 minutes (or 4.5 hours)
