nnesha · Answer

hypotenuse is c which is big side of triangle

nnesha · Answer

yes you got 2601
then you have to take square root bec $$24^2 + 45^2 = C^2$$
$$c^2 =2601$$

pooja195 · Answer

oh so then get the square root of 2601

gottennis121 · Answer

I got it. \[24 x 24 + 45 x 45 = \sqrt2601 = 51.
