Question

in the Pythagorean theroem, I have a Kaplan university study guide for a civil service test..

of course its a^2+b^2=c^2

It gives you the triangle side lengths of 2^2+3^2=c^2
so you get
4+9=c^2
or 13=c^2

Wouldn't the correct answer then be The square root of 13?

Because its telling me the answer is the sq. rt. of 3

Answer 1

YES

Answer 2

maybe they made a typo LOLS

Answer 3

Yes!

Answer 4

and the sq rt of 13 is 3.6

Answer 5

yea they would still be wrong

Answer 6

because 3.6 would be rounded to 4 or it would stay and 3.6

Answer 7

*at

Answer 8
