Answer 5

20

Answer 6

so a^2+b^2 is C^2

Answer 7

i mean

Answer 8

guessing is not gonna solve it TRUST ME

Answer 9

want to do it step by step with me?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

k so if a=12 and b=16 it would be 12^2 + 16^2=c^2 C is how far they are from eachother.

Answer 12

when we square them it will look like:
144+256=c^2

Answer 13

and that is 400

Answer 14

400

Answer 15

400=c^2 but we are looking for c so what do we do?

Answer 16

we isolate the variable

Answer 17

so \[\sqrt{400}=\sqrt{c}\]

Answer 18

it would 4 sq root 28

Answer 19

what?

Answer 20

sorry 20

Answer 21

no atm the equation is just √400=√c^2

Answer 22

so yeah 20 is correct

Answer 23
