Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value of b, we can rearrange the formula A2 - C2 = B2 to solve for B:

B2 = A2 - C2
B = √(A2 - C2)

Now we substitute the given values into the equation:

B = √(15^2 - 17^2)
B = √(225 - 289)
B = √(-64)

Since we have a negative value under the square root sign, we know that there is no real number solution for b.

To find the value of `b`, we can substitute the given values `a = 15` and `c = 17` into the equation `A^2 - C^2 = B^2`.

First, let's square `a` and `c`:
a^2 = 15^2 = 225
c^2 = 17^2 = 289

Next, substitute these values into the equation:
225 - 289 = b^2

Now, subtract `289` from `225`:
225 - 289 = -64

So `b^2 = -64`.

Taking the square root of both sides to find `b`:
√(b^2) = √(-64)

Since the square root of a negative number is not a real number, there is no real solution for `b` in this case.

To find the value of b using the equation A^2 - C^2 = B^2, where A = 15 and C = 17, we can substitute the given values into the equation:

A^2 - C^2 = B^2
(15)^2 - (17)^2 = B^2
225 - 289 = B^2
-64 = B^2

Since the square of a number cannot be negative, there is no real-valued solution for B in this equation.
