Answer 10

I can help if ya want..

Answer 11

thanks

Answer 12

So the equation for zee hypotenuse is a^2+ b^2= c^2. So plug in 2 and 3 for a nd b

Answer 13

No.
You need the Pythagorean Theorem.
Otherwise, you need to use trig, and if the poster does not know the Pythagorean theorem, then there is less chance of knowing trig.

Answer 14

That's what I was giving... I'm just not good at words like you are..

Answer 15

But.. yeah.. a^2+ b^2= C^2.. When you plug those numbers in, you get:

3^2+2^2= c^2

Answer 16

Are you able to do that?

Answer 17

idk im just learning this smh

Answer 18

is it 5.00

Answer 19

Owh, alright. Let me help you with it then I guess... So you square 3 and two (multipy it by itself). 3^2+2^2= c^2 comes out to (3*3)+(2*2)=c^2, which is essentially 9+4=c^2

Answer 20

Can you do 9+4, or should I explain that? XD nd idk what it is, i'm helping you figure it out

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

So.. 9+4 is equal to 13.. nd 13=c^2... but we wanna make C so it is just C, nd not c^2.. Do you know how to do that?

Answer 23

yea i got it now thanks

Answer 24

Alrighty, you're welcome...
