Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a Pythagorean Problem

Formula

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 5

b = ?

c = 9

Solution

5^2 + b^2 = 9^2 Expand the givens

25 + b^2 = 81 Subtract 25 from both sides

25-25+b^2 = 81- 25

b^2 = 56

√b^2 = √56

b = √8*7

b = √2*2*2*7

b = 2 √2*7

b = 2 √14

For every 2 prime factor under the square root sign, 1 of them can be taken out from under the root and the other is thrown away.
