Answer 1

((4^2+6^2))^(1/2)

Answer 2

what?

Answer 3

in other words
\[\sqrt{4^2+6^2}\]

Answer 4

enter it on a calculator

Answer 5

im not sure if I use the Pythagorean theorem or use 45 45 90?

Answer 6

x^1/2 = sqrt(x)

Answer 7

just do square root.

Answer 8

and then I get the hypotenuse?

Answer 9

it's pythagorean.
you're not given any other angles.
yeah

Answer 10

yuuup

Answer 11

then would I get radical 52?

Answer 12

but simplify it?

Answer 13

mhmm.
then simplify that on your calcuator.

Answer 14

look... c^2=a^2+b^2 where c is the hypotenuse, "a" and "b" are the "legs"

Answer 15

I get that.

Answer 16

so its 2 radical 13.

Answer 17

simplfity that
as in decimals...

Answer 18

7.211 units

Answer 19
