Question 282819: Finding the missing length of the right triangle of the formula a=48 and b=20 I understand you 48 to the second power and 20 to the second power, but not sure how the caulations was done to get c= 2304 + 400 so do you multiple, or what? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Finding the missing length of the right triangle of the formula a=48 and b=20 I understand you 48 to the second power and 20 to the second power, but not sure how the caulations was done to get c= 2304 + 400 so do you multiple, or what?
-----------------------
If 48 and 20 are the 2 short sides, then you add as you did then take the square root.
-------------------------
It's
2304 + 400 = 2704
