If a=12 and b= 12 solve for c by using the Pythagorean Theorem. Next, give the exact answer in simplified radical form. Finally, give the answer rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Question

anonymous · Answer

pythagorean theorm = a^2 + b^2 = c^2
therefore 12^2 + 12^2 = 288
to find c we square root that answer to get 16.970 or 16.97 to the nearest hundreth
in simplified radical form that is simply 12sqrt2
Hope this helps!
Cheers! ^.^
