Question

Can someone help me with this problem please? Thank you!

Answer 1

50

Explanation:

since the Pythagorean theorem is

`c=` √
`a^2+b^2`

b is the bottom line (48)

a is the right line (14)

c is the top line (c)

plug that in

`c =` √
`14^2 + 48^2`

then do the exponets

`14^2` = 14 * 14 = 196

`48^2` = 48 * 48 = 2304

then add them together

196 + 2304 = 2500

`c =` √2500

the sqrt of 2500 is 50 (50 * 50 = 2500)

c = 50

your answer is 50

hope this helps:)

Answer 2

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}`

Let's calculate the value of c using Pythagoras theorem ~

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: c {}^(2) = a {}^(2) + {b}^(2)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: c {}^(2) = {14}^(2) + {48}^(2)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: c = √(196 + 2304)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: c = √(2500)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: c = 50 \: units`
