What is the length of the hypotenuse?

A.
42.5 centimeters

B.
35 centimeters

C.
65 centimeters

D.
9.2 centimeters

Answer 1

Here we would use the Pythagorean theorem.
\[\huge~\rm~\bf~a^2+b^2=c^2\]
c=hypotenuse
the order of a and b don't really matter
a=25
b=60
\[\huge~\rm~\bf~25^2+60^2=? \]

Answer 2

ok

Answer 3

\[\huge~\rm~25 \times 25=? \]

Answer 4

625

Answer 5

Then, what is 60*60?

Answer 6

Good
\[\huge~\rm~\bf~60 \times 60=? \]

Answer 7

3600

Answer 8

3600+625=?

Answer 9

and i add 625 and 3600
