$$h^2=30^2+40^2$$ solve for $h$

notice that this is the same as a 3 - 4 - 5 right triangle only with 30 - 40 - ??

I don't want the answer!!! I need to know this!!!! @CGGURUMANJUNATH Next time wait until so0meonew can figure it out on their own not give them the answer and then explain.

H^2 = 30^2 + 40^2

30^2 = 30 x 30 = 900
40^2 = 40 x 40 = 1600

C? 50?

Me, make a video of me singing? Hah! I can't sing. I'm to quiet and I don't talk much. I'm more of a writer. I write my words not say them. :)
