In a right triangle, if a = 8 and c = 17, what is the correct setup to find the value of b?

• $17^2+8^2=b^2$

• $8^2+b^2=17^2$

• $17^2+b^2=8^2$

• $\frac{8^2}{b^2}=\frac{17^2}{100}$

What is the final step in solving this work for c?
a² + b² = c²
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²

• Divide both sides by 2

• Take the square root of both sides
