Well to put it simply if 'b' was taken out of the equation it simply wouldn't work.
here is a ritten example: a^2+b^2=c^2
a=2 b=3
now 2^2=4 and 3^2=9 so c^2= 13
now if we remove 'b': a^2=c^2
if a=2 as in our last example then this equation would be telling us: 2=13 and we all know 13 does not equal 2

How do you find the missing side from a right triangle?
to find the missing side of a right triangle you need the pythagorean theorem. A2 + B2 = C2. c is the longest side and a and b is the other sides. no particular side is a or b just the longest side is c.
How do you find the perimeter with one side missing?
14cm and 11cm what is the missing side using pythagorean theorem
What Shape is the Pythagrean Therom used on?
it is used on right triangles which is a triangle with a 90 degree angle. a^2+b^2=c^2 the c^2 is always the longest side.
How do you find Missing side of a right angle?
If there is no length for the hypotenuse you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem. If there are two sides missing and a reference angle you could use Trigonometry.
What is the pathagrium theorem?
(a^2)+(b^2)=(c^2)
