<span>(Y-3)^2 = 4y -12 <=> Y^2 - 6Y + 9 = 4y - 12 <=> 4y = Y^2 - 6Y + 21 <=> y = (Y^2 - 6Y + 21)/4. Solving the equation for y means that we have to express y relative to the other quantities in the equation.</span>
Use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 15^2 = 25^2
a^2 + 225 = 625
a^2 = 400
a = 20
Answer: 20 cm

Sorry for not explaining my work, in a bit of a hurry. I had this question back when i was in school.
Hope this helps & good luck. :)
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is
x² + 1² = 9²
x² + 1 = 81 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
x² = 80 ( take square root of both sides )
x = 
= 
= 
× = 4
