Question

Which expression represents the length of the hypotenuse, c, of the triangle below?

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle, the relationship between its three sides is $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ where $a$ and $b$ are side lengths and $c$ is the length of the hypotenuse. This means that the length of the hypotenuse is $c=\sqrt{a^{2} +b^{2} }$ by taking the square root of both sides to solve for $c$, making option C correct.

Answer 2

Square root a^2 + b^2
The third one from the right
