Mathematics: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the value of b²

No. While this is true in almost all cases, 2 and 4 are both factors of 4, while 8 is not.For any other number, though, George is correct....

So what is the Pythagorean Theorem:

⇒ it states the sum of both leg's lengths squared is equal to

⇒ hypotenuse's length squared

(look at the image attached for a better explanation)

To find out b^2 , let's look to the Pythagorean equation to see what we are missing:

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\(10^2) + b^2 = 325\\b^2 = 325 - 10^2\\b^2 = 325 - 100 = 225\\b^2 = 225$

a = 10 ⇒

= 100

So b^2 = 225 ⇒ Choice B

Hope that helps!
