Answer 1

The answer is 37. You use Pythagorean theorem so you get 5 squared + b squared= 13 squared. You’d get 25+ b squared= 169. You subtract 25 from 169 and you get b squared equals 144. You square root both the b and 144 and You would get 12 for that side. Then you do Pythagorean theorem again. You do 12 squared+ 35 squared= c squared. This would turn into 144+1,225= c squared this simplifies to 1,369= c squared. You square root both sides and you get your final answer 37
