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, $c = \sqrt{a + b}$

$\sqrt{97}$

If side a = 9, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

	$ \sqrt{89} $
	$ \sqrt{97} $
	$ \sqrt{162} $
	$ \sqrt{37} $

	\( \sqrt{89} \)
	\( \sqrt{97} \)
	\( \sqrt{162} \)
	\( \sqrt{37} \)
