Using the Pythagorean Theorem a^2 + b^2 = C^2

a and b are the sides and C is the Hypotenuse.

The picture you have sides of a and 15 and the hypotenuse is 17

The formula becomes a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2

For this case, what we must do is find an equation where we can clear the value of a.

We observe that the triangle has an angle of 90 degrees.

We then have to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve the problem.

We have then:

a ^ 2 + 15 ^ 2 = 17 ^ 2

From here, we can clear the value of a.

Answer:

An equation that can be used to find the unknown length, a, in this triangle is:

a ^ 2 + 15 ^ 2 = 17 ^ 2

Write the 2 digit number that matches the clue
Wittaler [7]
You can figure this out by setting up an equation and make

x= tens digit
y= ones digit

y + 8 =x (tens digit 8 more than ones)

also we know that 

y>0
x>0

since the 10s digit and 1s digit cannot be more than one number, we can say

0 < y > 10
0 < x > 10

since x has to be greater than 0 but less than 10, there is only one number that would fit into the equation for y

2 + 8 = 10
(y cannot equal 2 because than x is equal to 10 and it must be less than)

1 + 8 = 9 
( y can be 1 since x is less than 10)

so it would be 
y= 1
x= 9

the number would be 91

hope this helped!
