work is shown below. He made a mistake when solving. Explain the mistake and then solve the problem correctly.
Raphael's Solution:
a ^ 2 + b ^ 2= c^2 (to the power of 2)

Answer:

Raymond's mistake was on the last step, since he didn't square root both sides

The correct answer should be

c = \sqrt{41}

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\4^2 + 5^2 = c^2\\16 + 25 = c^2\\c^2 = 41\\c = \sqrt{41}

Good luck!
