\[\sqrt{3^2 + 5^2}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2 9 + 25 = c^2 34 = c^2 I'll let you finish.

im confused on how to finish this

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

your last step is to undo the square exponent, by doing what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

34 by the square root?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good, so the answer is \[\Large\sqrt{34}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thankyou

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

because you take the square root of both sides
