Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse, x, if (12, 35, x) is a Pythagorean triple?

Answer 1

Answer:37

Explanation:

12•12=144

35•35=1225

1225+144=1369

Square root 1369=37

Answer 2

a^2 + b^2 = c^2...where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
12^2 + 35^2 = c^2
144 + 1225 = c^2
1369 = c^2
sqrt 1369 = c
37 = c <=== ur hypotenuse is 37

so ur pythagorean triple is (12,35,37)
