Answer 9

Hmm

Answer 10

So we know that two sides are 32cm, but what is the hypotenuse?

Answer 11

Use the Pyth Ther to solve this

Answer 12

a is 32 squared

Answer 13

@ShadowLegendX

Answer 14

yes

Answer 15

what is b

Answer 16

@ShadowLegendX

Answer 17

so is B as this triangle was taken from a square where all sides are equal

Answer 18

so is it 32

Answer 19

But the hypotenuse is not a side so it isn't 32

Answer 20

what is b

Answer 21

c is the hypotenuse

Answer 22

Yes

Answer 23

\[A = 32^{2}\]

Answer 24

\[B = 32^{2}\]

Answer 25

\[C = ? \]

Answer 26

Now use the Pythagorean Theorem

\[A ^{2} + B ^{2} = C ^{2}\]
