Please help. Hypotenuse.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

do you know the formula for finding a hypotenuse?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

and how is it different?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

just find it and I'll help you from there

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

Pythagorean theorem states that a2 + b2 = c2 In this case, 3^2 + 8^2 = c^2 9 + 64 = c^2 73 = c^2

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

so you have to find the \(\sqrt{73}\)

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

\[c = \sqrt{73}\]

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

well, it wants it in radical form

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (dmndlife24):

73 is prime

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

exactly... so it'll just be kept that way.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

how'd you get the 3?
