Answer asap how do you solve this? show all steps so i know how to do it . *using the pythagorean theorem 1. a= 7, b= c=12 2. a= b=12, c=15 3. a= 8, b= c= (square root of 164)

Pythagorean Theorem is a formula stating that a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Or in other words, the smallest side of a triangle squared, plus the second smallest side squared, equals the hypotenuse squared

For number one

7^2 + b^2 = 12^2
Or 49 + x^2 = 144
And we solve the equation so
X^2 = 144 - 49
X^2 = 95
The answer to one is the square root of 95 (which is about 9.74679434)

For number 2 the same follows
A^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
A^2 + 144 = 225
A^2 = 81
A = the square root of 81 (which is 9)

For the last one
8^2 + b^2 = square root of 164
I cant seem to figure this one out are you sure you wrote the problem correctly?

Hope this Helps!
