Question 809700
When determining the missing length of a triangle through the Pythagorean theorem if you have a=12 and b=35 what does c equal???
-----------
Assuming it's a right triangle, which is implied above:
If c is the longest side, then
{{{c^2 = 12^2 + 35^2}}}
-----
If b is the longest side, then
{{{c^2 = 35^2 - 12^2}}}
