To find the value of b, we can rearrange the formula A2 - C2 = B2 to solve for B:
B2 = A2 - C2
B = √(A2 - C2)
Now we substitute the given values into the equation:
B = √(15^2 - 17^2)
B = √(225 - 289)
B = √(-64)
Since we have a negative value under the square root sign, we know that there is no real number solution for b.
a=15
b=?
c=17
A2-C2=B2
