Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

Givens

  • a = 3
  • b = 8
  • c = ?

Solution

c^2 = 3^2 + 8^2                 Substitute givens

c^2 = 9 + 64                       Combine

c^2 = 73                             Take the square root of both sides

√c^2 = √73  

c = √73                        \

Exact answer

c = √73                                73 is prime. It will break down no further

Approximate answer

c = 8.54400                         Both zeros must be entered
