Hello!
to find b, let's subtract the squares of the hypotenuse and leg a to find b. We will then find the square root of our answer.
169-144=25
√25=5
Therefore, b=5
I hope this helps!
Answer:
(See explanation for further details)
Step-by-step explanation:
Classification based on sides:
Equilateral - Three sides with same length.
Isosceles - Two sides with same length.
Scalene - No sides with same length.
Classification based on sides:
Acute-Angled - All angles are acute. 
Right-Angled - One angle is right. 
Obtuse-Angled - One angle is obtuse. 
Do you need the expanded notation form, or expanded factor form?
Short Answer A

It's a good thing that the domain is confined or the graph is. That function is undefined if x < - 3
At exactly x = - 3, f(x) = 0 and that's your starting point.
So look what happens to this graph. If x = 0, f(0) = y = 3. So we are starting to see that as x get's larger so does f(x). The graph tells us that x = 0 is bigger than x = - 3.
Let's keep on plugging things in.
As x increases to 5, f(5) = 5. x = 5 is larger than x = 0, and f(5) > 3.
One more and then we'll start drawing conclusions. If x = 9 then f(9) = y = 6.
x = 9 is larger than x = 5. f(9) = 6 is just larger than f(5) which is 5
OK I think we should be ready to look at answers. There's nothing there that makes the answer anything but a. Let's find out what the problem is with the rest of the choices.
B
The problem with B is that as x increases, f(x) does not decrease. We didn't find one example of that. So B is wrong.
C
C has exactly the same problem as B.
D
The second statement in D is incorrect. As x increases f(x) never decreases. No example showed that.
The answer is A <<<< Answer.
Answer:
Find the hypotenuse:
3^3 + 10^2 = 109
Square root of 109 is around 10.4
