Given a right triangle with b=4 and c=11 find a approximated to three decimal places.?

Do anyone have any idea on how to do this?

Given a right triangle with b=4 and c=11 find a approximated to three decimal places.?
And what exactly are a, b and c?


Sides? if yes, then which one is base? which one is altitude? and which one is hypotenuse?
Reply:Pythagorean theorm: a^2 + b^2 = c^2





a^2 +16= 121


121-16=105


square root of 105= 10.257
Reply:a^2 + b^2 = c^2


a^2 + (4)^2 =(11)^2


a^2 + 16 = 121


a^2 = 105


a = √105


a = 10.247





In these types of problems, 99.99% of the time, "a" and "b" are "sides" and "c" is the hypotenuse.
Reply:Need more info as someone has recently asked. If "a" is the hypotenuse, then a = 11.705, otherwise it is as others have stated.
