Pythagoras’s theorem part four

Here we have a right angled triangle with the sides labelled.
We know that h² = a² + b²

Here h = 10, b = 5 and a is unknown. We want to know what a is.
We substitute the values we know into the equation
h² = a² + b²
10² = a² + 5²
100 = a² + 25
75 = a²
a = √75
a = 8.66
