In the right triangle, find the length of the side not given. Give an exact answer and an approximation to three decimal places. a=5, b=7
what is the exact value of c?
+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+=+c%5E2+
+5%5E2+%2B+7%5E2+=+c%5E2+
+25+%2B+49+=+c%5E2+
+74+=+c%5E2+
+sqrt%2874%29+=+c+
.
what is the value of c approximated to 3 decimal places?
+sqrt%2874%29+=+c+
+8.602+=+c+
