Question

What is the measure of leg b?

a. 16
b. 23.3
c. 32
d. 34

Answer 1

The answer is b it’s a squared times b squared equals c squared so 25 times 25 is 625 and then 9 times 9 is 81 so 625-81 is 554 and the square root of 554 is 23.3

Answer 2

b. 23.3

Explanation:

1.(25)^2=x^2 + (9)^2

625= x^2 + 81

2. subtract 81

544= x^2

x= 23.3
