Question 24470: I am stuck on this question:
A right triangle is a triangle with one angle measuring 90degrees. In a right triangle, the sides are realted by Pythagorean Theorem,c squared=a squared+b squared where c is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90 degree angle). Find the hypotenuse when the other 2 sides' measurements are 3 feet and 4 feet?

...CORRECT
Find the hypotenuse when the other 2 sides' measurements are 3 feet and 4 feet?
JUST SUBSTITUTE IN YOUR FORMULA
A=3,B=4..YOU HAVE TO FIND C
c squared=3*3+4*4=9+16=25
C*C=25
C=5
