Question

We need to rearrange the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side: \[ a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} \rightarrow c^{2}-a^{2}=b^{2} \rightarrow 454.6^{2}-377.72^{2}=b^{2} \] Solve for b .

          We need to rearrange the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side:
\[
a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2} \rightarrow c^{2}-a^{2}=b^{2} \rightarrow 454.6^{2}-377.72^{2}=b^{2}
\]

Solve for b .

We need to rearrange the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side:

a^2+b^2=c^2→ c^2-a^2=b^2→ 454.6^2-377.72^2=b^2

Solve for b .
