and what is the pythag thrm tell us?

anonymous · Answer

a2 + b2 = c2

amistre64 · Answer

good, then lets fill in our numbers

10^2 + 13^2 = c^2

anonymous · Answer

wow thats is right

amistre64 · Answer

the only issue might be in going from c^2 to c

for that we just take the square root of each side

sqrt(10^2+13^2) = c

anonymous · Answer

no that is wrong you square the 10 and the 13 and then you get 100+169 then you add all that and you get 296 and then take the square root of that and you get 16.4 for the hypotenuse you weirdo.
