Question

Find c if a = 16 and b = 30.

Answer 1

a.c = 17
b.c = 1,156
c.c = 34
d.c = 68

Answer 2

is there an equation for c, because otherwise this doesn't make sense.

Answer 3

@tomo All im given is this:
Say that a and b are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Find c if a = 16 and b = 30.

Answer 4

I mean its Pythagorean Theorem I just don't know how to set it up

Answer 5

ok, since it is a right triangle you can use Pythagorean theorem.

given a right triangle, where a and b are the two side lengths and c is the length of the hypotenuse, the following equation is true.

a^2+b^2 = c^2

c = sqrt(a^2+b^2)

solve for c.
