Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

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

8^2 - 17^2 = B^2
64 - 289 = B^2
-225 = B^2

Taking the square root of both sides to solve for B, we have:

B = ± √(-225)

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

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To find the value of b in the equation A^2 - C^2 = B^2, where A = 8 and C = 17, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for B.

Given: A = 8, C = 17, A^2 - C^2 = B^2

Substituting the given values: (8)^2 - (17)^2 = B^2

Simplifying the equation: 64 - 289 = B^2

Calculating: -225 = B^2

To solve for B, we can take the square root of both sides:

√(-225) = √B^2

Note: Taking the square root of a negative number results in an imaginary number. Therefore, in this case, there is no real value for b that satisfies the equation.

To find the value of "b" in the equation A^2 - C^2 = B^2, where A = 8 and C = 17, we can substitute the given values into the equation and solve for B.

Substituting the values, we have (8)^2 - (17)^2 = B^2. Now, let's evaluate the equation:

(8)^2 - (17)^2 = B^2
64 - 289 = B^2
-225 = B^2

To solve for B, we need to find the square root of both sides of the equation:

√(-225) = √(B^2)

Remember that the square root of a negative number is not a real number, so the equation has no real solutions. Therefore, there is no specific value of "b" that satisfies the equation A^2 - C^2 = B^2 when A = 8 and C = 17.

Hence, the short answer is: There is no value of "b" that satisfies the equation.
