Question

What is the measure of AB?

Answer 1

AB = 25

Explanation:

You use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

You plug in your values to get 7^2 + 24^2 = c^2.

Then you simplify to get 49 + 576 = c^2.

Then you add to get 625 = c^2.

Then to solve for c(c = AB) you take the square root of everything to get:

c = 25.

Answer 2

25

Explanation:

7² + 24² = c²

(7 x 7) + ( 24 x 24) = c²

49 + 576 = c²

625 = c²

25 = c
