Question

What is the value of c?

______ units

Answer 1

The answer is 5, C = 5 units.

Answer 2

The value of c is 5 units.

Explanation:

Now by using the pythagorean theorem

Hypotenuse² = Perpendicular² + Base²

As in Δ WYZ.

WZ² = ZY² + WY²

Hypotenuse = WZ = c

Perpendicular = WY = 4 units

Base = ZY = 3 units

Put in the above

c² = 4² + 3²

c² = 16 + 9

c² = 25

`c = √(25)`

c = 5 units

Therefore the value of c is 5 units.
