SOLUTION: In a triangle which the length of one side is not given b=1, and c= square root of 17 a^2+b^2=C^2 a^2+1=sqrt of 17 17^2+1=sqrt of 17 290=sqrt of 17 17=17 is this correct?

Question 310905: In a triangle which the length of one side is not given b=1, and c= square root of 17
a^2+b^2=C^2
a^2+1=sqrt of 17
17^2+1=sqrt of 17
290=sqrt of 17
17=17
is this correct?
