A=15 And C=37,Find B.
A=15 and c=37,find b.
In a triangle, use Pythagorean Theorem.a^2 + b^2 = c^2
To get b, we must equate b^2 from the equation.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
-a^2 -a^2
Cancel a^2 on the left side.
Leaving,
b^2 = c^2 - a^2
Now, we know that a = 15, we must find a^2:
a^2 = 15^2
a^2 = 225
And we also know that c = 37, so we must find c^2:
c^2 = 37^2
c^2 = 1,369
So,
b^2 = c^2 - a^2
= 1,369 - 225
= 1144
To get b:
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(1144)
Cancel ^2 and sqrt
b = sqrt(1144)
We still need to simplify this,
sqrt(1144) = 2×sqrt(286)
Why?
1144 = 4 × 286
Since 4 is a perfect square, pull it out from 4 × 286.
Then, find the square root of 4, which is 2.
