Answer:


√(32)

Explanation

We can use the pythagorean theorem here. This theorem states that
a^(2) + b^(2) = c^(2), where c is the hypotenuse, and a, b are the other sides of the triangle.

We're given a, and b (both are 4), by plugging them into the formula, we get
c^2 = 32. But the answer asks for
c\\ in radical form, and so we can take the square root of both sides, getting c = ±
√(32). Since a negative side length doesn't make sense, we can finish by saying that
c = √(32).
