Question 659870: can someone explain how i get the missing side of a right triangle a=7,b=?,c=25
Answer by nidatanu(4) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
plz mention which side is hypotenuse
if c is hypotenuse
then,
by pythagoras theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + b^2 = 25^2
b^2 = 25^2 - 7^2
b^2 = 625 - 49
b^2 = 576
b = 24
