Question

Calculator What is the value of b? Enter your answer in the box. b= 16 34 b​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Use pythagorean the hypotenuse is always across from th right angle and is the longest in a right triangle

34² = 16² + x²

1156 = 256 + x² bring 256 over to other side by subtracting

900 = x² take square root of both sides to solve for x

x = 30

Answer 2

• value of b = 30

Explanation:

In the given figure,

34 is Hypotenuse i.e the largest side

16 is perpendicular

b = Base

Using Pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)² = (Perpendicular)² + (Base)²

(34)² = (16)² + (b)²

1156 = 256 + b²

1156 - 256 = b²

900 = b²

b = √900

b = 30

Therefore, Value of b is 30.
