Question 394160: In the right triangle ABC , C is the hypotenuse and A and B is the length of the legs.
(a) . If A=12 , B= 16 then c=?
(b) if A=24 , B=? and c=25
(c) if a=1 b=2 c=?
(d) if a=18 b=? c=20?

Hi

Note;  Pythagorean Theorem and calculator make short work of this exercise

where ABC is rt Δ with length of hypotenuse C and  A and B are the lengths of the legs

A^2 + B^2 = C^2    OR  B^2 = C^2 - A^2

(a)If A=12 , B= 16 then c = 

(c) if a=1 b=2 c=

(b) if A=24 , B=? and C=25  B = 

(d) if a=18 b=? c=20   b = 

Will leave using Your calculator up to You.  

(operations under the radical sign need to be done prior to taking the sqrt)
