Music theory?! Is SATB choir and figure bass the same thing?
i have to write an 8 bar phrase and im only given the root note of each chord…i think….any help at all is appreciated!
Re: the main question:
No, they are different things.
“SATB” stands for a choral arrangement written for: “Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass” (SATB)
“Figured bass, or thoroughbass, is a kind of integer musical notation used to indicate intervals, chords, and nonchord tones, in relation to a bass note.” (1) Wikipedia sums it up better than I can. 
Re: your 8 bar phrase with the root note only:
Figure out what kind of sound you want, duration of the notes, etc. Unless you already have a form of melody in your head, you might consider taping out a rhythm with your hand on your knee, and then figure out which pitch you want to assign for each duration. If you know want to do it the easy way, make sure your melody is landing on your root note for that measure, then (generally) your chords will all be in “root-position”, if you want to be a little fancier, just take all of the notes of each chord into consideration, and land on which you think sounds best, this may very well mean harmonizing with various inversions of those chords.
Hope that helps.
