Question

Please solve this ASAP

Answer 1

Here you want to use the Pythagorean Theorem.


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

Remember that the hypotenuse ( c ) will always be the longest side, opposite of our right angle.

let's enter in the numbers on the picture into our theorem.


`4^(2) + 1^(2) = c^(2)`

now lets simplify


`4^(2) = 16 \\ 1^(2) = 1 \\ \\ 16 + 1 = c^2 \\ \\ 17 = c^2 \\ \\ √(17) =c`

and there you are!
`√(17) = c`

Hope this helped!:)

Answer 2

the answer is 17. you use pythagorean thereom
