Mehek (mehek14):
you have to use the Pythagorean Theorem
familiar with it?
Mehek (mehek14):
@ggggggggggttt ?
Mehek (mehek14):
\(\Large{a^2 + b^2 = c^2}\)
Mehek (mehek14):
you will take the 2 smaller numbers and substitute them in a and b and the larger number has to equal the square root of the 2 smaller numbers added together
Mehek (mehek14):
so you have the numbers
24
32
40
find \(\Large{24^2 + 32^2 =}\)

NOTE: Since all three numbers are divisible by 8 it would have made your job /slightly/ easier if you first divided them all by 8 to get: 3, 4, 5
