    Using Pythagorean theorem c^2=a^2 + b^2, we can find the missing side b.

    Put values in equation.

    18^2 = 8^2 + b^2

    324=64+b^2

    Subtract 64 from both sides

    260 = b^2

    Take square root.

    2√65=b

    or

    b=16.12

    Answer: b=2√65 Radical form. or b=16.12 Decimal form.
