Find the missing side length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[28^{2}+35^{2}=c ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know its 784+1225=2009 But how do I put it back in that form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is how we would write it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\begin{array}{cc} 28^{2}+35^{2}&=&c ^{2}\\ 784+1225&=&c ^{2}\\ 2009&=&c ^{2}\\ \sqrt{2009}&=&|c| \end{array} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since we know the length of a side will be positive, then \(|c|=c\).
