Answer:

√97 units

Explanation:

AB represents the largest side of the triangle so in order to solve for that side, use Pythagorean Theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a = height b = base and c = the largest side

Step 1. Find the length of AC (represented as a)

Answer: 9 units

Explanation: either count how many units or use the distance formula

Step 2. Find the length of CB (represented as b)

Answer: 4 units

Explanation: either count how many units or use the distance formula

Step 3. Substitute a for 9 and b for 4 units in Pythagorean Theorem

9^2 + 4^2 = c^2

Step 4. Simplify the exponents

81 + 16 = c^2

Step 5. Solve for c^2

c^2 = 81 + 16

c^2 = 97

Step 6. Square root c^2

c = √97
