Question

Someone help please !

Answer 1

11.5

Explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + b^2 = 14^2

64 + b^2 = 196

-64 -64

(radical) b^2 = (radical) 132

b = 11.5

Answer 2

x = 11.5

Explanation:

using pythagoras theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

x^2 + 8^2 = 14^2

x^2 + 64 = 196

x^2 = 196 - 64

x^2 = 132

x =
`√(132)`

x =
`2√(33)`

x = 11.5
