Answer 2

Answer:

x = √40

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem formula is

$a^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

step 1) divide 4 by 2 to get 2

$2^{2}$ + $b^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

step 2) plug 2 and 6 into the formula

$2^{2}$ + $6^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

step 3) multiply 2 by 2 to get 4

4 + $6^{2}$ = $c^{2}$

step 4) multiply 6 by 6 to get 36

4 + 36 = $c^{2}$

step 5) add 4 by 36 to get 40

40 = $c^{2}$

step 6) take the square root of both sides of the equal sign (the √ cancels out the ²)

√40 = c

step 7) now you have the answer x = √40
