\[p ^{2}+q ^{2}=c ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (lizz123):

Thats the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, now you need to find c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what would you do to c to get rid of the square root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops, i meant to right square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ^2

OpenStudy (lizz123):

you have to multiply c*c= the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I accidentally gave you the answer earlier. take the square root to get c from c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't forget that you have to take the square root of both sides of the equation

OpenStudy (lizz123):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1430950577984:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what should the answer be?
