You should really calm down and learn to communicate your mind well.

jjuden · Answer

calm down i am i calm just  hate people

primeralph · Answer

Well then don't come here expecting people to help.

anonymous · Answer

ok since you are finding the hypotenuse. that means we need to find C in the pathagorean theorem. it'll look like this $$60^2+25^2=c^2$$

anonymous · Answer

next u square them $$60^2+25^2=c^2  $$
$$3600+625=c^2$$
do you know what to do after that?

anonymous · Answer

$$4225=c^2$$ get rid of the square in c by squaring 4225. That'll get you 
$$\sqrt{4225}$$=65
