Answer 3

The pythagorean theorem formula is: \[a^2 + b^2=c^2\]

We are solving for the hypotenuse which is c.

Remember:
a = 48
b = 64

The formula to find the hypotenuse is: \[c=\sqrt{a^2 +b^2}\]

Now we substitute the variables with the numbers...

\[c=\sqrt{48^2 +64^2}\]

are you able to solve it? if so, what would the next step be?
