Pythagorean Theorem!!

A^2+B^2=C^2

Your a is your line bc, and your c is your line ac (or your hypotenuse).

Input for those values.
(4)^2+B^2=(6)^2

16+B^2=36

Solve.

16+B^2=36
-16. -16
________
B^2=20

Then once you simplify to where you have a variable squared on one side, find the square root of both sides.


-/(b^2)=-/(20)

The square root of b squared is b, and the square root of 20 is 4.47.

B=4.47 centimeters
Please note that is a rounded answer within the decimal count given.

Answer:

AB = 2
√(5\\)cm

Explanation:

Pure Pythagorean theorem.


c^(2) =
a^(2) + b^(2)

a = 4.0cm

c = 6.0cm

b = ?


b^(2) = c^(2) - a^(2)


b^(2) = 6^(2) - 4^(2)


b^(2) = 36 - 16


b^(2) = 20

b =
√(20)

b =
√(4 * 5)

b = AB = 2
√(5)cm
