How do you find the base in the Pythagorean theorem, c=18, a=9, what is b?

Sagot :

Answer:

b = 15.59

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

9^2 + b^2 = 18^2

81 + b^2 = 324

-81             -81  

b^2 = 243

b = 15.59

Pythagorean Theorem -

[tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2} [/tex]

1 - Input the values!

[tex] 9^{2} + x^{2} = 18^{2} [/tex]

2. Find the exponents!

[tex]81 + x^{2} = 324[/tex]

3. Multi step Equations!

[tex]81 - 81 = 0 \\ 324 - 81 = 243[/tex]

4. Use square roots to find x!

[tex]x = \sqrt{243}[/tex]

Answer: X=The Square Root Of 243
