Solve for c. Enter a number answer only.

Solve for c. Enter a number answer only.

Solution

From the image, it looks like a right triangle with two legs labeled 3 and 4, and the hypotenuse labeled cc. To find the value of cc, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:

c=a2+b2c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

Substituting a=3a = 3 and b=4b = 4:

c=32+42=9+16=25=5c = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5

The value of cc is 55.
