Question

Could someone answer the question with the photo linked below? Then explain how to solve it?

Answer 1

Answer:

b = sqrt(57)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

8^2 + b^2 = 11^2

64+ b^2 = 121

Subtract 64

b^2 = 121-64

b^2 =57

Take the square root of each side

b = sqrt(57)
