$8+15\ =\$

$8^2+15^2=$

$15-8=$

$15^2-8^2=$

 $8^2+15^2\ =\ 289$ Now take square root of 289 to find the length of the hypotenuse.

 $8^2+15^2=289$  You are done. The missing side is 289.

 $15-8=7$ You are done.  The missing side is 7.

 $15^2-8^2=161$  Now take square root of 161 to find the length of the hypotenuse.

$9+41\ =\$

$9^2+41^2=$

$41-9=$

$41^2-9^2=$

 $9+41\ =\ 50$ You are done.  50 in the missing side length.

 $9^2+41^2=1762$ Take the square root of 1762 to find the missing side length.

 $41-9=32$ You are done.  32 is the missing side length.

 $41^2-9^2=1600$ Take the square root of 1600 to find the missing side length.
