Answer:

5.385164807

Explanation:

For this problem you can use Pythagorean Theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

  • a^2 would be a side you have, we'll use 2.
  • b^2 would be the other side, which would be 5.
  • Do a^2 + b^2 which would be 2^2 + 5^2
  • 2^2 = 4
  • 5^2 = 25
  • 25 + 4 =2 9
  • Square your number -
    √(29)
  • This would get you 5.385164807.
