Answer:

a = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

a² + b² = c²

Given:

b = 9

c = 15

Finding a:

a² + b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a² = 15² - 9²

a² = 225 - 81

a² = 144

[tex]\sqrt{a^2} =\sqrt{144}[/tex]

a = 12

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, use the pythagreons theorm:

a^2+b^2=c^2

A and B are the side lengths, while is the hypotenuse, which in this case is 15 meters.

So lets plug in our values and solve for the missing length:

9^2+b^2=15^2

Square all the values except for the unknown:

81+b^2=225

Subtract from both sides to get b alone:

b^2=144

Take the square root of both sides so b^2 becomes b:

b=12

So your answer is 12!

Hope this helps!
