Question

Suppose the side of square A is 10in, and the area of square C is 162in2. What is the area of square B if the three squares form a right triangle?

Answer 1

Square A:

a=lw

a=10*10

a=100in2

Square B:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

100^2 +b^2 = 162^2

10,000 + b^2 = 26,244

b^2 = 16,244

b = 127.45in2
