B.) 17


C.) 12


D.) 25

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is a formula relationship between the sides of a right triangle. Since this is a right triangle, it has sides a = 7, b = 24, and c = ?. To find c, substitute the values for a and b into the formula

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

and solve for c.

`a^2+b^2=c^2\\7^2+24^2 = c^2\\49 + 576 = c^2\\625 = c^2\\25=c`
