Pythagorean Theorem

Solve with Pythagorean Theorem
a = side needed to find 
b = 9
c = 11

a² + 9² = 11² {substituted into the Pythagorean Theorem}
a² + 81 = 121 {squared the 9 and the 11}
a² = 40 {subtracted 81 from both sides}
a = √40 {took the square root of both sides}
a ≈ 6.32 {evaluated the square root of 40}
