Hypotenuse Math. 15 Points.

Using the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
A and B are the sides and c is the hypotenuse.
4^2 + 5^2 = c^2
Simplify:
16+25 = c^2
41 = c^2
Take the square root of both sides:
c=√41
Answer:
[tex]\large\boxed{c=\sqrt{41}\approx6.4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
[tex]leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2[/tex]
We have:
[tex]leg=5\\leg=4\\hypotenuse=c[/tex]
Substitute:
[tex]c^2=5^2+4^2\\\\c^2=25+16\\\\c^2=41\to c=\sqrt{41}\to c\approx6.4[/tex]
