To apply the Pythagorean theorem, we need to solve for the unknown side, which is represented by "b" in the given equation.
Starting with the equation:
b^2 + 57^2 = 30^2
We can subtract 57^2 from both sides to isolate b^2:
b^2 = 30^2 - 57^2
Now, we can calculate the values on the right side of the equation:
b^2 = 900 - 3249
Simplifying further:
b^2 = -2349
Since the square of any real number cannot be negative, it means that there is no real value for "b" that satisfies the equation.

now try adding it
Apologies for the confusion. Let's apply the Pythagorean theorem correctly by adding the two sides instead of subtracting them:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 + 57^2 = 30^2
We can start by simplifying the equation:
b^2 = 30^2 - 57^2
Calculating the values on the right side:
b^2 = 900 - 3249
b^2 = -2349
As the square of any real number cannot be negative, it appears that there is no real value for "b" that satisfies the equation.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 + 57^2 = 30^2
We can start by simplifying the equation:
b^2 = 30^2 - 57^2
Calculating the values on the right side:
b^2 = 900 - 3249
b^2 = -2349
As the square of any real number cannot be negative, it appears that there is no real value for "b" that satisfies the equation.
i meant adding 30^2 + 57^2 using the pythagroean therom
Apologies for the misunderstanding. Let's apply the Pythagorean theorem correctly by adding 30^2 and 57^2:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
30^2 + 57^2 = c^2
Calculating the values on the left side:
900 + 3249 = c^2
4149 = c^2
Taking the square root of both sides:
c = √4149
c ≈ 64.4
So, the value of side "c" is approximately 64.4.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
30^2 + 57^2 = c^2
Calculating the values on the left side:
900 + 3249 = c^2
4149 = c^2
Taking the square root of both sides:
c = √4149
c ≈ 64.4
So, the value of side "c" is approximately 64.4.
