Question

Urgent!! Find the length of B by using the Pythagorean Theorem

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

24^2 + b^2 = 40^2

576 + b^2 = 1600

b^2 = 1024

b = 32

Answer 2

32

Step-by-step explanation:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

a= 24 , b= b , c=40

In order to find b, you have to change the equation a bit. Your new equation will look like ${c}^{2} - {a}^{2} = {b}^{2}$

here is the step by step now

${40}^{2} - {24}^{2} = {b}^{2}$

${1600} - {576} = {b}^{2}$

${1024} = {b}^{2}$

**now you need to take the square root of both sides and you get 32**
