Question

23 find the missing leg length. pythagorean theorem ( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 )
( a = 7 ), ( c = 25 )
a ( b = 24 )
b ( b = 10 )
c ( b = 0 )
d ( b = 18 )

Explanation:

Step1: Rearrange Pythagorean Theorem

$b^2 = c^2 - a^2$

Step2: Substitute values

$b^2 = 25^2 - 7^2 = 625 - 49 = 576$

Step3: Solve for b

$b = \sqrt{576} = 24$

Answer:

A. b = 24
