Answer 1

@Hero, I need help with this Fast.

Answer 2

I don't know what to do.

Answer 3

this is the triangle we're looking at

Answer 4

o, Ye

Answer 5

have you learned the pythagorean theorem yet?

Answer 6

Nope.

Answer 7

Isn't it a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 8

The Formula?

Answer 9

exactly

Answer 10

o

Answer 11

ok
so
a and b are the legs
and c is the hypotenus

Answer 12

o

Answer 13

so
a = 1
b = 1
c = ?

plug into the equation

Answer 14

1^2 + 1^2 = c^2

Answer 15

?

Answer 16

perfect!

Answer 17

1^2 = 1, So 1 + 1 = c^2

Answer 18

mhm

Answer 19

2 = c^2?

Answer 20

yes

but we want "c"

Answer 21

so we should square root both sides
because
square root of (c^2) = c

Answer 22

o

Answer 23

So the Square root of 2 = 1.41

Answer 24

So the answer is 1.41?

Answer 25

yes, but I think you can just leave your answer as "square root of 2"

Answer 26

o, Okay, Ty!
