Answer:
b = 63
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right angled triangle, hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the square of the other sides.
c² = a² + b² (where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the other two sides)
c = 65 , a = 16 b = ?
65² = 16² + b²
4225 = 256 + b²
4225 - 256 = b²
b² = 3969
b = [tex]\sqrt{3969}[/tex]
b = 63
check
c² = 16 ² + 63²
= 256 + 3969
= 4225
c = √4225
c = 65
