Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

A.


\begin{gathered} c^2=3^2+4^2 \\ c^2=9+16 \\ c^2=25 \\ c=\sqrt[]{25} \\ c=5 \end{gathered}

B.


\begin{gathered} 17^2=8^2+b^2 \\ 289=64+b^2 \\ 289-64=b^2 \\ \sqrt[]{225}=b \\ 15=b \end{gathered}

C.


\begin{gathered} c^2=60^2+11^2 \\ c^2=3721 \\ c=\sqrt[]{3721} \\ c=61 \end{gathered}

D.


\begin{gathered} 25^2=7^2+b^2 \\ 625-49=b^2 \\ \sqrt[]{576}=b \\ 24=b \end{gathered}

E.


\begin{gathered} c^2=35^2+12^2 \\ c=\sqrt[]{1369} \\ c=37 \end{gathered}

F.


\begin{gathered} 12.5^2=7.5^2+b^2 \\ 156.25-56.25=b^2 \\ \sqrt[]{100}=b \\ 10=b \end{gathered}
