i don't believe i'm doing this correctly

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

please show your steps and I'll try to see where you may have made a mistake

a2 + b2 = c2 4^2+ 5^2=c^2 16+25=41 41=C^2

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

that is correct so far :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (asnaseer):

exactly - you should have more faith in your abilities! :)

OpenStudy (asnaseer):
