Question

What is a valid statement of the Pythagorean Theorem?
A.In a right triangle, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse, √c = √a + √b.
B.In a right triangle, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse, c2= a2 + b2.
C.In a right triangle, where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse, √c = a2 + b2.
D.The distance between two points is the square of the difference of their x and y coordinates.

Answer 1

the pythagorean theorem is \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]
does that help?

Answer 2

yes but idk what the answer could be i know the pythagorean theorem already

Answer 3

well which one of your choices says \[a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

Answer 4

A but, the question says which one is valid

Answer 5

nope. A says \[\sqrt c= \sqrt a + \sqrt b\]
pythagorean theorem is \[c^2 = a^2 + b^2\]
they're different

Answer 6

would it be C
