This is Pythagorean's Theorem, with one leg being 10 and the hypotenuse being 16. Using those values in the theorem looks like this:
$10^{2} + b^{2} = 16^{2}$
and $100+ b^{2} =256$
and $b^{2} =256-100$
so $b^{2} =156$
Take the square root of both sides to find that b = 12.5

SHOW YOUR WORK!!<br><br> What is the distance between point A (-3, -2) and Point B (4, -7)?

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: $\bold{\sqrt{74}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\text{Use the distance formula: }d_AB=\sqrt{(x_A-x_B)^2+(y_A-y_B)^2}\\where\ (X_A, y_A)=(-3, -2)\\and\ (x_B,y_B)=(4, -7)\\\\\\d_AB=\sqrt{(-3-4)^2+[-2-(-7)]^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{(-7)^2+(5)^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{49+25}\\\\.\quad =\boxed{\sqrt{74}}$
