Question

Find the exact length of the third side. 5 3

Answer 1

I'm going to assume you want to find the third side of a triangle. We can use the pythagorean theorem to solve; a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 5

b = 3

c = ?

Solve.

5^2 + 3^2 = c^2

25 + 9 = c^2

34 = c^2

√34 = √c^2

5.8 ≈ c

Best of Luck!
