@iGreen

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (igreen):

Use the Pythagorean theorem. 6^2 + 6^2 = c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 36+36= 72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand how i get one of my answer choices though

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so we have: c^2 = 72 Find the square root of both sides: c = \(\sqrt{72}\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now we simplify the square root of 72. Find the factors of 72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so..... C?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah thanks so much

OpenStudy (igreen):

36 and 2 sqrt 72 = sqrt 36 * sqrt 2 Simplify the square root of 36: sqrt 72 = 6 * sqrt 2 6 sqrt 2
