Question

Two side lengths of a right triangle have been given. Solve for the missing side length if a and b are leg lengths and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
a = 16, b = 30, c = ?

Answer 1

The answer to the question is c = 34

Answer 2

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

To find c, use the equation a²+b²=c²

so 16²+30²=1156 but because 1156 is the answer squared, you need to take the square root of 1156 which gives you 34
