86 opposite of it so it would be87
B + (-2) = 0
Here, we need to do the inverse operation, and apply it to BOTH sides of teh equation.
b -2 = 0
+2 +2
b = 2
Now we have our answer, b = 2
Final answer: b = 2
Given:
right triangle
a = 2.9
c = 4.2
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
missing value of b.
b² = c² - a²
b² = (4.2)² - (2.9)²
b² = 17.64 - 8.41
b² = 9.23
b = √9.23
b = 3.03 or 3.0
The value of b is 3.0
