  1. b square + a aquare is  = c square

    b^2 + a^2 = c^2

    32^2 + a^2 = 34^2

    the answer and i dont have a calculator near me is

    you substract 32^2 from 34^2 and then you get the square root


  2. square 34 and 30 and you get----

    1156= asquared + 900

    -900                  - 900---subtract 900 from both sides so you get a squared by itself

    256= asquared

    then take the square root of 256 and a just so you are left with a

    a=16

  3. a square + b square = c square
