To find the value of side b, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b).
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
14^2 = 10^2 + b^2
196 = 100 + b^2
b^2 = 196 - 100
b^2 = 96
b = √96
b ≈ 9.798
Therefore, side b is approximately 9.798 units.
using the Pythagorean Theorem
the c is 14 and the a is 10 what is the b
