OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Since its a right triangle we can use Pythagorean theorem which is \(a^2+b^2=c^2\) where c is the hypotenuse \(25^2+10^2=c^2\) Solve for c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

725=c^2

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

yes now square root both sides to remove that exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26.9=c but thats not one of my answers

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

are your answers in radical form ... like square root?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

725, 5, \[\sqrt{29}\] , \[5\sqrt{29}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are the answer choices

OpenStudy (mimi_x3):

Ok so \[\sqrt{725}=\sqrt{25*29}=\sqrt{25}*\sqrt{29}=5*\sqrt{29}\]
