We can use pythagorean theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4 + 9 = c^2

13 = c^2

sqrt of 13 = c

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The value of c is
√(13)

Explanation:

Given: If a=2 and b=3

To find: c

We are given a right triangle. Using pythagoreous theorem


c^2=a^2+b^2

where, a=2 and b=3 , c=?


c^2=2^2+3^2


c^2=4+9

Taking square root both sides


c=√(13)

Hence, The value of c is
√(13)
