Answer 1

which side is the hypotenuse?

Answer 2

A 25
B 27
C does not exist
D 40

Answer 3

\[a^{2} +b^{2} = c^{2}\]
where c is the hypotenuse

Answer 4

ok then im assuming we are solving for the hypotenuse, c
plug in 7 and 24 as a and b

Answer 5

25

Answer 6

right????

Answer 7

IDK! :'(

Answer 8

ok have you tried substituting 7 and 24 into the formula and solving for c

Answer 9

\[c^{2} = 7^{2} + 24^{2}\]

Answer 10

so it's 25?

Answer 11

yep
good job

Answer 12

thanks

Answer 13

use that for any right triangle, just remember c is the hypotenuse or longest side
