Question

The Pythagorean theorem is a² + b² = c². Solve for b.

Answer 1

As a²+b²=c²

Then

b²=c²-a²

Then

b=√{c²-a²}

I hope this much will help you

Answer 2

Answer:

$b^2=c^2-a^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $a^2+b^2=c^2$

To Find: b

Solution:

The Pythagorean theorem is $a^2+b^2=c^2$

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Now shift a^2 to the opposite side

$b^2=c^2-a^2$

Now take square root of $c^2-a^2$

$b=\sqrt{c^2-a^2}$

Thus the value of b is $\sqrt{c^2-a^2}$
