How do I find b of the traingal​

Pythagorean Theorum:

16ft

Step-by-step explanation:

pythagorean theorum states a^2+b^2=c^2

it only works for right triangles, c is the hypotenuse, a and b are the legs

so to find b we plug in the info we have!

7.8^2+b^2=17.8^2

next we simplify:

60.84+b^2= 316.84

subtract 60.84 from both sides to isolate the variable:

b^2=256

square root both sides

b=16

16ft is the answer

I hope this helps!
