Find the missing side. Round to the nearest tenth when necessary.

15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Because it is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. The theorem is c^2 = a^2 + b^2, with c being the hypotenuse, and a and b being the legs. So plug in the values and you will get 18^2=9^2 + b^2. Solve for b and you will get 15.6.

x=15.59

Step-by-step explanation:

using the pythagorean theorem we know a²+b²=c²

also that c²-a²=b². in this case we're using the second one. c² is 18², and a² is 9². 18²-9² is 243. we then find the square root of that number to get x (b²). x=15.59 rounded to the nearest hundreth.

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
