Question

I need help thank you

Answer 1

≈ 5

Explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

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

Now plug in the numbers into the formula:

`6^(2) + b^(2) = 8^(2)`

36 +
`b^(2)` = 64

Subtract 36 from both sides:

36 +
`b^(2)` = 64

-36 -36

_________

`b^(2)` = 28

Square both sides:

`√(b^2) = √(28)`

b = 5.29

b ≈ 5
