Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be $a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given $a^2+b^2=c^2$ we want to solve for a

How?

We can do this by using basic algebra ( isolating the variable (a ))

Step 1 subtract $b^2$ from each side

$a^2+b^2-b^2=a^2\\c^2-b^2=c^2-b^2$

now we have $a^2=c^2-b^2$

step 2 take the square root of each side

$\sqrt{a^2} =a\\\sqrt{c^2-b^2} =\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$

we're left with $a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}$

Hence your answer is A
