Question

In this image, what is the value of C? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

C = 7.2

Explanation:

What's Pythagorean Theorem?

• Pythagorean Theorem is a theorem in which it states that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. This can be represented as an equation of a² + b² = c².

To find the value of C, we're going to use Pythagorean Theorem! We're given the legs as 4 and 6.

Step 1: Simplify.

• 
  `4^2+6^2=c^2`
• 
  `16+36=c^2`
• 
  `52=c^2`

Step 2: Take square root of both sides.

• 
  `√(c^2)=√(52)`
• C ≈ 7.2

Therefore, the value of C is 7.2.
