Algebra.Com's Answer #148931 by nerdybill(7384) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Apply Pythagorean theorem: \n" ); document.write( "Let h = hypotenuse \n" ); document.write( "then \n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 3^2 + 5^2 \n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 9 + 25 \n" ); document.write( "h^2 = 34 \n" ); document.write( "h = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
