Phytagorean Theorem

44sqr + 33sqr = x sqr

1936 + 1089 = x sqr
3025 = x sqr

sqr root of 3025 = 55

55 = x
x = 55

Answer: 55

Answer:

hypotenuse = 55

Explanation:

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

the square on the hypotenuse c is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

c² = 33² + 44² = 1089 + 1936 = 3025 ( take square root of both sides )

c =
√(3025) = 55
