1. c^2 = a^2 + b^2
= 15*15 + 20*20
= 225 + 40= 625
C = 25

2. A^2 = C^2 - B^2
= 7*7 - 3*3
= 49 - 9
= 40
a = 2rt10
= 6.4


3. b^2 = c^2 - a^2
= 8*8 - 5*5
= 64 - 25
= 39
b = 6.2

4. c^2 = a^2 + b^2
= 0.3*0.3 + 0.4*0.4
= 0.09 + 0.16
= 0.25
c = 0.5

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

15^2 + 20^2 = c^2
225 + 400 = c^2
625 = c^2
c = 25

a^2 + 3^2 = 7^2
a^2 + 9 = 49
a^2 = 40
a = 6.32

5^2 + b^2 = 8^2
25 + b^2 = 64
b^2 = 39
6.24

.3^2 + .4^2 = c^2
.09 + .16 = c^2
.25 = c^2
c = .5

Yo. These problems are so easy. All you need is this equation. It's hypotenuse theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Plug and chug your numbers in your calculator and wha la!
It works! Although you may have to shift and solve for some answers. Look this is really easy. You should be able to do it now.

1)
c=sqrt(225+400)=25

2)
a=sqrt(49-9)=sqrt(40)=6.32

3)
b=sqrt(64-25)=sqrt(39)=6.24

4)
c=sqrt(0.09+0.16)
=sqrt(0.25)
=5/10
=1/2
=0.5
