Explain how to solve this please and give answer

Answer:
AB = 2[tex]\sqrt{5\\}[/tex]cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Pure Pythagorean theorem.
[tex]c^{2}[/tex] = [tex]a^{2} + b^{2}[/tex]
a = 4.0cm
c = 6.0cm
b = ?
[tex]b^{2} = c^{2} - a^{2}[/tex]
[tex]b^{2} = 6^{2} - 4^{2}[/tex]
[tex]b^{2} = 36 - 16[/tex]
[tex]b^{2} = 20[/tex]
b = [tex]\sqrt{20}[/tex]
b = [tex]\sqrt{4 * 5}[/tex]
b = AB = 2[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]cm
