Question

the legs of triangle are 3 in and 4 in. use the pythagorean therom to find the length of the hyptoenuse

Answer 1

$a^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ {3}^{2} + {4}^{2} = {c}^{2} \\ 9 + 16 = {c}^{2} \\ 25 = {c}^{2} \\ c = \sqrt{25} \\ c = 5$

Answer 2

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

3^2 + 4^2 = 25

√25=5

(it is also a pythagorean triple so numbers like 3,4,5 always work to find the pythagorean therom)
