use pythagoras theorem which says:
$$H^2=O^2+A^2$$

anonymous · Answer

H=Hypotenuse
O=Opposite
A=Adjacent

how do i square root 5^2

anonymous · Answer

Take the square root of 2
Multiply that by 5
That's the length of 1 side
Take that length and square it.
Since both sides are the same length, then double that answer (same thing as s1^2 + s2^2)
h (the hypotenuse) is the square root of that number.

anonymous · Answer

What is it that's confusing you?

anonymous · Answer

$$H^2= (5\sqrt2)^2+ (5\sqrt2)^2$$
$$H^2=100$$
hope you can continue from there....

anonymous · Answer

it came out to be 20

anonymous · Answer
