c2 = a2 + b2 a = 12, b = 5

c2 = 122 + 52

c2 = 144 + 25

c2 = 169

c = √169

c = 13

c2 = a2 + b2 a = 15, c = 25

252 = 152 + b2

625 = 225 + b2

b2 = 625 - 225

b2 = 400

b = √400

b = 20

By Pythagoras’ Thm.

x2 = 82 + 62

x2 = 64 + 36x2 = 100x = √ 100x = 10

By Pythagoras’ Thm.

x2 = 72 + 32

x2 = 49 + 9x2 = 58x = √ 58x = 7.6

By Pythagoras’ Thm.

x2 = 92 + 92

x2 = 81 + 81x2 = 162x = √ 162x = 12.7

By Pythagoras’ Thm.

x2 = 92 + 22

x2 = 81 + 4x2 = 85x = √ 85x = 9.2

122 = x2 + 82

144 = x2 + 64x2 = 144 - 64x2 = 80x = √ 80x = 8.9

By Pythagoras’ Thm.

202 = x2 + 132

400 = x2 + 169x2 = 400 - 169x2 = 231x = √ 231x = 15.2

By Pythagoras’ Thm.

112 = x2 + 92

121 = x2 + 81x2 = 121 - 81x2 = 40x = √ 40x = 6.3

By Pythagoras’ Thm.

252 = x2 + 202

625 = x2 + 400x2 = 625 - 400x2 = 225x = √ 225x = 15
