Question

If a=5 and b=12 use the pythagorean theorem to solve for c

Answer 1

13

Answer 2

13

Answer 3

a^2 + b^2 = c^2


5^2 + 12^2 = c^2


25 + 144 = c^2


169 = c^2


c^2 = 169


c = sqrt(169)


c = 13


So the solution is c =13

Answer 4

what you need to do is : find a^2 + b^2 = c^2. therefore it will be 5^2 +12^2 ==169. squareroot that to get 13
