Question

given right triangle ABC, with right angle at C. If a=5 and b=12 use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for C.

Answer 1

I think you meant to say c instead of C

C is 90 degrees, which is given

Answer 2

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

5^2 + 12^2 = c^2

25 + 144 = c^2

169 = c^2

c^2 = 169

c = ???

Answer 3

so would it be 11, 13, 84.5, or 119?

Answer 4

the square root of 169 is ____

Answer 5

13!

Answer 6

good

Answer 7

Answer 8

c^2 = 169

c = sqrt(169)

c = 13
