a. Find the exact length of c in unsimplified form
b. Find the exact length of c in simplified radical form.
c. Find c to the nearest hundredth.
( please help I need to turn it in)

Answer 1

Is it a right triangle?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

the Pythagorean theorem right? a^2+b^2=c^2 so
a^2+b^2=c^2
3^2+3^2=c^2
9+9=c^2
18=c^2
c=square root of 18.
1a) c=square root of 18. <--unsimplified form
1b) square root of 18
=3 square root of 2. <--simplified radical form
1c) square root of 18
=4.24264...
