Question

What si the area if square b if the three squares create a right triangle?

Answer 1

In this right triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

C^2=A^2+B^2

where

C^2------> area of square C

A^2 -----> area of square A

B^2 ----> area of square B

substitute the given values

42=15+B^2

solve for B^2

B^2=42-15

B^2=27

therefore

the area of square B is 27 square centimeters
