Question

the legs of triangle are 3 in and 4 in. use the pythagorean therom to find the length of the hyptoenuse

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

3^2 + 4^2 = 25

√25=5

(it is also a pythagorean triple so numbers like 3,4,5 always work to find the pythagorean therom)

Answer 2

`a^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2) \\ {3}^(2) + {4}^(2) = {c}^(2) \\ 9 + 16 = {c}^(2) \\ 25 = {c}^(2) \\ c = √(25) \\ c = 5`
