You will be fine if you use the simple theory a²+b²=c² if you are trying to find h
For this one it is more challenging the √ with the ² cancel each other out so it just becomes h not √h or h².

Good start, Brooke. Shows a solid understanding of perfect squares and their roots. Remember that for your last step you are calculating the root. So in your top example we would write h=8.48 not h^2 (h squared) And in your second example the length of the hypotenuese is not 117, but rather the root of 117, so about 10.8. Overall, well done.
