Question

you add a^2 and c^2 then take the square root to find b on a right triangle. false true

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Pythagorean theorem

In a right - triangle, the Pythagorean theorem is \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\) (where \(c\) is the hypotenuse). To find \(b\), we should have \(b=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}\), not \(b = \sqrt{a^{2}+c^{2}}\).

Answer:

false
