if A squared is -10
then A is sqrt(-10) = (sqrt10)i ( this is an imaginary number - you cannot find the sqrt of a negative number in the real math system. Nothing squared = a negative number.)
but that doesn't help much because you have not been given a value of c. So you can't solve even if you use imaginary numbers.

a 2+b 2 = c 2
