Question

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse in the triangle below.Provide your answer below:c=1IA

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean theorem we get:

`c^2=4^2+3^2.`

Simplifying the above result we get:

`\begin{gathered} c^2=16+9 \\ =25. \end{gathered}`

Now, notice that:

`25=5^2.`

Therefore:

`c=5.`

Answer:

`c=5.`
