C.19.9
D.14.6​

Answer:

14.6

Explanation:

You need the equation [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]

both legs can be "a" or "b" the hypotenuse is "c"

insert what you know in this equation then solve for the unknown.

[tex]34^{2} +b^{2} = 37^{2} \\1156+b^{2} = 1369\\b^{2}=213\\[/tex]

now to cancel out the square you take the square root of both sides giving you: 14.6
