B. Is this pythagorean Therorem? When I try it that way it's not working out? Could someone please explain what to do. Thank you

Answer 1

So I assume this is a 90-45-45 triangle.

no, this is a 1-.707-.707 triangle.

I don'tknow where a, b, c are. For example, if the hypotenuse is 34, then the legs are 34*.707

If a leg were 15, then the hypotenuse would be 15/.707

Answer 2

Yes it's a 90, 45 45 triangle. And the letters go like this.

A
C


B
