Answer:

C = 73

Explanation:

Formula used: a²+b²=c²

A and B represent the numbers other than the hypotenuse, so C equals the hypotenuse. It doesn't matter which number you put as A or B. Here's the equation we're working with:

(55)² + (48)² = C²

That simplifies to:

3025 + 2305 =C²

5329 = C²

Now, C needs to be by itself in order for us to get the answer, so the next step is to do inverse operations. The inverse of sqauring a number (x²) is to square root it (√x). Here is the new equation we are working with:

√5329 = √C

That simplifies to:

73 = C

Hope this is correct!
