Question

True or false, if false what would the correct term be?

Answer 1

Answer: False

To correct this, change "difference" to "sum"

In math, the term "difference" means we subtract two numbers or variable expressions. For example, 10x-5 is a difference. The term "sum" means we add two expressions, so something like x^2+5x is a sum.

The formula for finding the length of the hypotenuse (c) when given the legs a and b is this

$c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}$

We are taking the square root of the sum $a^2+b^2$

This is based off the pythagorean theorem $a^2+b^2 = c^2$

Answer 2

False
Because it just is
