First you write down the pythagorean theorem which is A squared plus B squared equals C squared. Then you put in the known variables so A becomes the square root of three squared, and C becomes six squared. Next you find the variables squared. This is three plus B squared equals Thirty six. Then subtract three from Thirty six and you get B squared equals Thirty three. So at last you find the square root of Thirty three. That is 5.7... Then if you need to round it the answer is six.

To this question, we have to apply the Pythagorean Theory. a-square+b-square+c-square. We know that the side which says, the square root of 3, it would just be 3. The Hypotenuse is 6. So we apply the formula reverse. 3+n= 36, because 6 squared. 36-3= 33. The square root of 33 is 5.74456264654
