Question 52494: x-sqrt of x=0
solve all the values for x
a right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90 deg. In a right triangle,the sides are related by pythagorean Therom, c to the second =a to the second +b to the second where c is the hypotenuse find the hypoteneuse when the other two sides measurements are 3ft and 4ft please show work and explain.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x+-+sqrt%28x%29+=+0
x+=+sqrt%28x%29
x%5E2+=+x
x%5E2+-+x+=+0
x%28x+-+1%29+=+0
x+=+0 and x+=+1
Now, a right triangle has two legs: a and b ....
And a hypotenuse: c ....
a = 3
b = 4
c = ?
c%5E2+=+a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2
c%5E2+=+3%5E2+%2B+4%5E2+=+9+%2B+16+=+25
c+=+sqrt%2825%29
c+=+5
The hypotenuse is 5 feet long.
