    Hint

  3.   In a right triangle, a = 14.2 cm and b = 13.9 cm. Find c. Round to the nearest tenth.
    A. c = 0.3 cm B. c = 19.9 cm
    C. c = 14.1 cm D. c = 2.9 cm
    Hint

  4.   In a right triangle, a = 4 inches and c = 7 inches. Find b.
    A. b = 5 inches B. b = 3 inches
    C. b = 8 inches D. b = 6 inches
    Hint
