HELPPPPPP PLZZZZ!!! in a right triangle, find the length of the side not given.. give an exact answer and an approximation to three decimal places. a=15, b=15, c=??? what is the exact value of c? type an exact answer using radicals as needed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use a^2 + b^2 = c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 ^2 = 225 225 +225 = 450 c^2 = 450 c = \[\sqrt{450}\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using Pythagorean's Theorem, find c. \[a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\] \[15^{2}+15^{2}=c^{2}\] \[450=c^{2}\] \[\sqrt{450}=c\]
