Answer 1

To find the value of b, we can substitute the given values into the equation A^2 - C^2 = B^2:

8^2 - 17^2 = B^2
64 - 289 = B^2
-225 = B^2

Taking the square root of both sides to solve for B, we have:

B = ± √(-225)

Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, there is no real solution for b in this equation.
