Question

The information given represents lengths of sides of a right triangle with c the hypotenuse. Find the correct missing length to the nearest hundredth. A calculator may be helpful.

a = 20, b = 28, c = ?


34.41
34.72
35.45
35.88

Answer 1

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
now plug in the values of a and b and compute the result
this will equal the value of c^2
to find c take the square root (using your calculator)

Answer 2

34.41

Answer 3

what do you make 20^2 and 28^2 to be?
