A. 4

B. 14

C. square root of 52

D. square root of 61

Answer 1

so you are going to use the Pythagorean theorem on the smaller triangle to find the connecting side's length

`{5}^(2) = {3}^(2) ( {b}^(2) ) \\ b = 4`

now you can find the bigger triangle's hypotenuse

`{6}^(2) + {4}^(2) = {c}^(2) \\`

c=4
