Question 2 of 5

Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c²) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a² + b²): c²= a² + b² or, solved for c, $c = \sqrt{a + b}$

$\sqrt{20}$

If side a = 4, side b = 2, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

	$ \sqrt{85} $
	$ \sqrt{10} $
	$ \sqrt{20} $
	$ \sqrt{2} $

	\( \sqrt{85} \)
	\( \sqrt{10} \)
	\( \sqrt{20} \)
	\( \sqrt{2} \)
