We can use the pythagorean thereom here, that tells us (a^2)+(b^2)=c^2. C is the hypotenuse, the side opposite from the right angle, while a and b are the other sides. We can insert 5 and 4 as a and b, and solve for c
:(5^2)+(4^2)=c^2
:25+16=c^2
:41=c^2
:sqrt(41)=6.4=c (We square rooted both sides. 6.4 is only rounded to the nearest hundredths place.) Hope this helps!
