I’m pretty sure your answer will be -7 because if you add the negatives together it will get more negative and -3 and -4 combined is -7
Pythagorean Theorem is
a ²+ b ² = c ²
a and b are the shorter sides, while c is the hypotenuse, or longest side. Let’s say the side we are looking for is “b”.
Let’s first rearrange the equation, then sub in.
a ²+ b ² = c ²
b ² = c ²- a ²
b = √ (c ²- a ²)
b = √(17 ²- 15 ²)
b = √(289-225)
b = √ 64
b = 8
