if a^2 + b^2 = c ^2

??

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

what are the measures anyhow @GreenBeanDemphsey lol!

anonymous · Answer

sorry i forgot to put them, 4, 7, and square 65

anonymous · Answer

square 65?

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

do you mean $\sqrt{65}$?

anonymous · Answer

yea

anonymous · Answer

Square the entire equation then

$$4 ^{2} + 7 ^{2} =?  65$$

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

because 16+49= what? ;)

Hint: $4^2=16~ and~ 7^2=49$

anonymous · Answer

16 + 49 | 65

anonymous · Answer

65 = 65

anonymous · Answer

65 i know that

anonymous · Answer

i know how to add them and everything but how do i do it with the root

anonymous · Answer

So yes, the answer is yes, it's a right triangle

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

right so there is your answer! because that just affirms the equation and also affirms that this does indeed equal a right triangle :)

anonymous · Answer

When you square a square root, it becomes normal again

anonymous · Answer

okay, to the answer would be true

Good job
