Can someone please help me?

Answer 1

Answer:part a=4.6 part b=2.6

Step-by-step explanation:part a= first make sure to know which direction is which next you would end up making a triangle with the legs as 1.7 and 4.3 and use pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2 so 1.7^2 + 4.3^2= c^2 1.7^2=2.89 4.3^2=18.49 2.89+18.49=21.38 so now you square root 21.38 to get 4.62385 so it equals 4.6

part b = is basically the same thing except they gave you 3.1 as c and 1.7 as a so you would put it as c^2 - a^2=b^2 so 9.61 - 2.89= 6.72 then square root it to get 2.592296 which means it equals 2.6
