A right triangle C^=A^+B^ I need to find B I know both C and A ,but not any angles Is it Sqrt (C^ - A^)

I think you are on the right track to solving the missing
side of a right triangle.  The Pythagorean Theorem states
that:

`a^2+b^2=c^2` , where a and b are the legs and c is
the hypotenuse.  The hypotenuse is the longest side opposite of the right angle. The
legs form the right angle. Solve the Pythagorean Theorem for one of the legs,
b:

`b=sqrt(c^2-a^2)` .  The + or - notation is missing
since the side of a triangle is not negative. Here is an example
problem.

Find leg b for a right triangle with a hypotenuse
length of 20 and a leg length of
12.

`b=sqrt(20^2-12^2)`

`b=sqrt(400-144)`

`b=sqrt(256)=16`

The
side length is 16.  The combination of three numbers that satisfy the Pythagorean
Theorem are called Pythagorean triples.

12, 16 and 20 are a
Pythagorean Triple.
