apply the Pythagorem theorem to this answer

Question

a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + 10^2 = 18^2

Answer 1

Applying the Pythagorean theorem to the given answer:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 10^2 = 18^2

Simplifying the equation:
a^2 + 100 = 324

Subtracting 100 from both sides:
a^2 = 224

Taking the square root of both sides:
√(a^2) = √224

Simplifying the square root:
a = √224

Therefore, the application of the Pythagorean theorem to this answer results in a = √224.

Answer 2

we need the square root of 224 is the last step

Answer 3

Apologies for skipping that step.

The square root of 224 is √224, which simplifies to 14.966.

Therefore, the final result is a = 14.966.
