Question

Hey, I kinda need help with this Pythagorean theorem equation... I’ve been stuck on it all day.

It should be something like

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

If you can give me anymore details here’s my discord

Answer 1

`\textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies √(c^2 - b^2)=a \qquad \begin{cases} c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{6.5}\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{k}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{6}\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ √(6.5^2~~ - ~~6^2)=k\implies √(42.25-36)=k\implies √(6.25)=k\implies \boxed{2.5=k}`
