Answer:

x = 2√174, -2√174

x ≈ 26.38

Explanation:

23² + x² = 35²

529 + x² = 1225

-529 -529

----------------------

x² = 696

√x² = √696

x = 2√174, -2√174

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

b = √c² - a²

b = √35² - 23²

b ≈ 26.38

I hope this helps!
