Answer 1

Use Pythagreom Theorm (idk if I spelled it right)

Pythagorean Theorem, I believe...and I am not sure how to use it.

Answer 3

A squared + B squared = C squared so do 5 squared + 8 squared and there you go. Am i right? @DefameMe

Answer 4

So it's a right triangle and you can use pythagrea's theorom to solve. -> Hypotenuse = (x^2 + y^2)^.5

Answer 5

@GhostVortex Yep!

Answer 6

5 squared + 8 squared = 89

Answer 7

So yea! 25+64 and youll get C
