im new to this
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
ohhh okay heres the formula
\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]
OpenStudy (brucebaner):
kk

u can mix up the legs ( a and b in the formula) it doesnt matter
OpenStudy (brucebaner):
yes i think?
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
|dw:1434399839501:dw|
so in this case we are solving for X, which is the hypotenuse
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
so our a can be either 7 or 4
and we're looking for c
\[4^2 + 7^2 = c^2\]
^^ that's after we substitute out givens
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
make sense? c:

yes
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
\[4^2 + 7^2 = c^2 \]
\[16 + 49 = c^2\]
\[65 = c^2\]
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
try to do the last step c;
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
*hint* c is squared right? but we're looking for c not c^2
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
take of the square root! :D

\[\sqrt{65} = \sqrt{c}\]
that should give u x :)
