I think this is correct, Answer is 21

Explanation:

Step 1: Write down formula:
a^2+b^2+c^2

Step 2: Plug in b and c value in formula:
a^2+20^2=29^2

Step 3: Solve the exponents:
a^2+400=841

Step 4: Subtract 400 from both sides:
-400
-400


a^2=441

Step 5: Square root both sides:
√(a^2)=√(441)


a=21

Step 6: 29+21: 50

Step 7: 50-29: 21
