Question

If A=13 and B=10, find C. Pythagorean theorem.

Answer 1

C = √269

C ≈ 16.4

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for 'c'.

`a^2+b^2=c^2`

We are given:

'a' = 13

'b' = 10

Replace the variables with the appropriate values and solve for 'c':

`13^2+10^2=c^2\\\rightarrow 13^2=169\\\rightarrow 10^2=100\\169+100=c^2\\269=c^2\\√(269)=√(c^2)\\\boxed {16.40122... = c}`

16.4012195 ≈ 16.4

C is about 16.4.
