Question 1 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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)

\( \sqrt{106} \)

If side a = 5, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)
