FINDING B


SINCE ADDING SIDE A AND SIDE B GIVES YOU SIDE C, TAKE AWAY SIDE A FROM SIDE C TO GET SIDE B

OR

C² - A² = B²

WITH THAT YOU CAN THIS:

C² - A² = B²...FORMULA
10² - 6² = B²...REPLACE A & C
(10X10) - (6X6) = B²...SQUARE A & C
100 - 36 = B²
64 = B²...SUBTRACT

YOU ARE NOT DONE YET. YOU FIVE B², YOU ARE LOOKING FOR B. YOU STILL HAVE TO FIND THE SQUARE ROOT OF YOUR ANSWER TO FIND B.

THE SQUARE ROOT OF 64 IS 8 (8X8=64).

B = 8
