Question

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 1

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

Answer 2

\[\huge\color{blue}{a^2+b^2=c^2}~~~~~~~c=hypotenuse\]

Answer 3

so it would be d

Answer 4

Nope, it's not B.

Answer 5

Depends on which one is B in your q.

I know it's 34.

Answer 6

its c 34

Answer 7

Yes,
\[16^2+30^2=c^2,~~~~~~~~~1156=c^2,~~~~~~~~~~~\sqrt{1156}=\sqrt{c^2},~~~~~~~c=34\]

Answer 8

thank you for formula that helps

Answer 9

Anytime!
