Answer:

653.91 squared or 326.955 not squared

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a hyponuse of 26 and one leg of 4.7 and we are trying to figure out the missing leg!

The first step is

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

2 step

4.7^2 + B^2 = 26^2

3 step

4.7 x 4.7 =  22.09  and 26 x 26 = 676

4 step

22.09 + B^2 = 676

5 step

676 - 22.09 = 653.91

6 step

Answer

653.91 squared or 326.955 not squared!

hope this helps
