x^2 + y^2 = r^2 r = hypothenuse. This is the Pythagorean theroem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so solve for r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is 45 degree right triangle, so there is a special rule to find the sides.. 45 - 45 -90 x - x - xsqrt 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so then i could set it up like 45^2+3sqroot 2^2=r^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the line across from 90 degree angle is the hypothenuse, which is the x sqrt 2 side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no 45 is a angle degree...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay
