Juleana/Cassandra -- I showed you how to do the last problem.

Let's see you try this one.

I'll be glad to check your answer.
also for this one i got, 19.2. but that is a clueless guess, using info i remember, from previous classes.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

16^2 + b^2 = 20^2
256 + b^2 = 400

b^2 = 400 - 256
b^2 = 144

b = 12
thank you so much, i'll try to figure out the real question now.
You're welcome. :-)
