Next time do your own homework, but I'm bored so I'll give u the answer.
You have to use Pythagorean therom
so b=10.583

This problem of a right triangle can be solved with pythagorean
The formula
a² = b² + c²
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - -- - - -
Information from the statement
a = 3
c = 11
-- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sides a and c are given and solving for b
The formula for Pythagorean Therom has to be rearanged
c² = a² + b²
-a² -a²
Subtract - a from both sides
c² - a² = b²
This is the formula to use.
b² = â11² - 3²
b² = â121 - 9
b² = â112
The number inside the radical sign â112 is called the radicand
b = 10.58300524
b = 10.583 rounded to three decimal places
The answer is 10.583

Pythagorean Theorem
C^2 = A^2 + B^2
11^2 = 3^2 + B^2
B^2 = 11^2 - 3^2
= 121 - 9
B^2 = 112
B = 10.583

10.583
3 squared + X squared = 11 squared
9+x squared = 121
X squared = 112
Square root both sides
X = 10.583

I used the formula a2 + b2 = c2 then manipulated it.
