<h2>
The Pythagorean Theorem</h2>
The Pythagorean Theorem: 
- <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the two legs in a right triangle
- <em>c</em> is the hypotenuse (the longest side of a right triangle; opposite the 90° angle
- <em>*keep in mind that this theorem applies only to right triangles</em>
<h2>Solving the Question</h2>
We're given:
- Legs = 9 units and 12 units
- Hypotenuse = <em>c</em>
<em />
Plug these measurements into the Pythagorean theorem:

<h2>Answer</h2>

on my calculator 48^1/5 equals 2.168943542
but out of a fraction 1/5 equals 0.2 ( they both equal the same thing)
2.168943542
-2/(a+b)
Explanation: you are dividing negative two by the sum of a and b so you would put a+b in parentheses as the denominator and then put -2 as the numerator
