Answer:
x = √40
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem formula is
+ =
step 1) divide 4 by 2 to get 2
+ =
step 2) plug 2 and 6 into the formula
+ =
step 3) multiply 2 by 2 to get 4
4 + =
step 4) multiply 6 by 6 to get 36
4 + 36 =
step 5) add 4 by 36 to get 40
40 =
step 6) take the square root of both sides of the equal sign (the √ cancels out the ²)
√40 = <em>c</em>
step 7) now you have the answer x = √40
