Question

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the leg in the triangle below. side a is 35 , and side c is 21. What is B?

Answer 1

Answer:

b=-784!

Step-by-step explanation:

If pythagorean theorem is the following (see below), then we can work backwards in order to solve for b!

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

$35^2 +b=21^2\\1225+b=441$

Now all that's left is to subtract 1225 and we should have our answer!

$b=-784!$
