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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
If side a = 3, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{73} \) | |
| 5 | |
| \( \sqrt{97} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{41} \) |
