A=. B = 2.6 c=6.2 using Pythagorean Theron what is a?

Hello!

So you will use the Pythagorean Theron equation which is Asquare + bsquare=C square

Plug in what you are given to find the missing piece

A square + (2.6) square = (6.2) square

Asquare + 6.76 = 38.44

(Subtract 6.76to both sides to isolate A)

Asquare = 31.68

(Take the square root of both sides to find out what A is)

A=5.628

5.62

Step-by-step explanation:

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

A^2 + 2.6^2 = 6.2^2

A^2 + 6.76 = 38.44

- 6.76 - 6.76

A = 31.68

A^2 = 5.62
