Answer:
2, sqrt of 7633
Step-by-step explanation:
for now, we'll leave the 3rd side as x
y using the Pythagorean theorem, we can conclude that (1) 48^2+x^2=73^2 or (2) 48^2+73^2=x^2.
1. If we conclude the x isn't the longest, the x would be 3025 which is the sqrt of 55, now is invalid because the 2 smallest sides can't be more than the longest side when they add up 55+48>73 so that is invalid
2. Then, it leaves us with only 1 choice left! concluding that the 3rd side is the longest. Which the answer is sqrt of 7633
For this, you use the Law of Distribution and multiply -1 by all terms in the parentheses. 7 • -1 = -7; -c • -1 = c. Then you combine them, but since c is a variable, -7 + c is the most simplified it can get. I hope this helped!
