nearest tenth if necessary.
18 cm
15 cm
с cm
Oa. 18° +15° = c?: 549 cm
O b. 18 + 15 = c; 32 cm
c. 152 + 2 = 18: 9.9 cm
Od. 18+15° = 2:23.4 cm

Answer:

d. 18^2 + 15^2 = c^2. 23.4

Explanation:

Right triangle: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

with c is the hypotenuse, a and b are the other sides

c^2 = 18^2 + 15^2

c^2 = 324 + 225

c^2 = 549

c = 23.4
