Question

What is the length of the hypotense,c?

26 m
29 m
34 m
36 m

Answer 1

`c=√(34)`

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), you can find the hypotenuse

Begin by plugging in 3 into a and 5 into b.

3^2 + 5^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

Then, take the square root of both sides.

`√(34) =\sqrt{c^(2) }`

`c=√(34)`

Answer 2

Choice C

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find that the length of the hypotenuse is:

`√(3^2+5^2)=\\\\√(9+25)=\\\\\boxed{√(34)}`

Hope this helps!
