Question

What is the length of the hypotense,c?

26 m
29 m
34 m
36 m

Answer 1

Answer:

Choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can find that the length of the hypotenuse is:

$\sqrt{3^2+5^2}=\\\\\sqrt{9+25}=\\\\\boxed{\sqrt{34}}$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

$c=\sqrt{34}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), you can find the hypotenuse

Begin by plugging in 3 into a and 5 into b.

3^2 + 5^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

Then, take the square root of both sides.

$\sqrt{34} =\sqrt{c^{2} }$

$c=\sqrt{34}$
