Answer:

C)
c=\sqrt{a^(2) +b^(2) }

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle, the relationship between its three sides is
a^(2) +b^(2) =c^(2) where
a and
b are side lengths and
c is the length of the hypotenuse. This means that the length of the hypotenuse is
c=\sqrt{a^(2) +b^(2) } by taking the square root of both sides to solve for
c, making option C correct.
