Question 473228: I have a right triangle, and I'm trying to find the length of the side not given. Side A= 13, and Side B=13. What is the exact value of Side C? It needs an answer and an approximation to three decimal places. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I have a right triangle, and I'm trying to find the length of the side not given. Side A= 13, and Side B=13. What is the exact value of Side C? It needs an answer and an approximation to three decimal places.

If "C" is the hypotenuse, use Pythagoras to get:
---
C = sqrt[13^2+13^2]
---
C = sqrt[2*13^2]
---
C = 13*sqrt(2)
