Answer:


b=√(c^2-a^2)

Explanation:

The given relation is


c=√(a^2+b^2)

To make
b the subject, we square both sides of the equation to get;


c^2=(√(a^2+b^2))^2


c^2=a^2+b^2

Isolate
b on one side of the equation;


c^2-a^2=b^2

Or


b^2=c^2-a^2

We take the positive square root of both sides to get;


b=√(c^2-a^2)
