Algebra.Com's Answer #326350 by algebrahouse.com(1659)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Pythagorean Theorem is a² + b² = c² {a and b are the legs, c is the hypotenuse}\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "33² + 56² = c² {substituted into the pythagorean theorem} \n" ); document.write( "1,089 + 3,136 = c² {squared the 33 and 56} \n" ); document.write( "4,225 = c² {added} \n" ); document.write( "c = 65 {took square root of both sides}\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "hypotenuse = 65 ft \n" ); document.write( " For more help from me, visit: www.algebrahouse.com \n" ); document.write( " |
