Question

The measure of c is?

Answer 1

Answer: Option C or 208 (square rooted) or 14(rounded)

2 next to or in parentheses next to a number represents squared
Explanation:
formula - a2 + b2 = c2
12(2) + 8(2) = c2
144 + 64 = c2
208(2) or square rooted
14.422

Answer 2

`answer \\ √(208) \\ solution \\ hypotenuse = c \\ perpendicular = 8 \\ base = 12 \\ using \: pythagoras \: theorem \\ {h}^(2) = {p}^(2) + {b}^(2) \\ or \: {c}^(2) = {8}^(2) + {12}^(2) \\ or \: {c }^(2) = 64 + 144 \\ or \: {c}^(2) = 208 \\ c = √(208) \\ hope \: it \: helps`
