Question

Solve for c


Pythagorean theorem

Answer 1

i think the answer is 9

Answer 2

By observing diagram clearly we can observe that there is a right angled triangle with :

• Base, B = 3
• Perpendicular, P = 3
• Hypotenuse, H = c

So, to find hypotenuse, let's use Pythagoras' theorem :

`\large \underline{\boxed{\bf{H^2 = B^2 + P^2}}}`

`\tt : \implies c^2 = 3^2 + 3^2`

`\tt : \implies c^2 = 9 + 9`

`\tt : \implies c^2 = 18`

`\tt : \implies c = √(18)`

Hence, value of c is √18.
