Question

True or false, if false what would the correct term be?

Answer 1

False
Because it just is

Answer 2

Answer: False

To correct this, change "difference" to "sum"

In math, the term "difference" means we subtract two numbers or variable expressions. For example, 10x-5 is a difference. The term "sum" means we add two expressions, so something like x^2+5x is a sum.

The formula for finding the length of the hypotenuse (c) when given the legs a and b is this

`c = √(a^2+b^2)`

We are taking the square root of the sum
`a^2+b^2`

This is based off the pythagorean theorem
`a^2+b^2 = c^2`
