Answer:

C). 10

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem, a^2+b^2=c^2

We know the two sides (a and b) and are trying to find the hypotenuse (c).

Substitute the known values:

7^2+7^2=c^2

Simplify and solve:

49+49=c^2

98=c^2

sqrt(98)=c

c=9.899

Rounded to the nearest whole number would be 10

Let me know if you need any other clarification!
