36 squared +b squared = 15squared what is b
There are no real solutions.
yes there is
There are not, since you cannot have a negative measurement of a side of a triangle. (This is the Pythagorean Theorem, if you didn't know.)
If we're confining ourselves to real number solutions, Guest is correct !!!
36^2 + b^2 = 15^2
b^2 = 15^2 - 36^2
b^2 = 225 - 1296
b^2 = -1071
But.....no real number squared can ever be negative......!!!!
