Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf c = √(244)}$

Explanation:

→ We want to solve this equation:

$\sf 12^2 + 10^2 = c^2$

◼ Simplify the left side:

$\sf 144 + 100 = c^2$

$\sf 244 = c^2$

◼ Calculate the square root of both sides:

$\sf √(244) = √(c^2 )$

◼ Simplify both sides:

$\boxed{\sf c = √(244)}$

→ We could have used the quadratic form, but calculating the square root of both sides is faster and give the same result.

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation 12² + 10² = c² is √244.
