Solution:

As per the problem we have

Jerrod found the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 3 ft and 1 ft.

As we know from the Pythagoras theorem in a right angled Triangle

Square of hypotenuse=Sum of the square of rest of the two sides

So we can write , if C represents the hypotenuse

Hence his answer was not correct
