1. Refer to the triangle below. If a = 3 and b = 6, A. Find the exact length of c in unsimplified radical form B. Find the exact length of c in simplified radical form C. Find c to the nearest hundredth
I'm assuming that the triangle is a right triangle wherein the Pythagorean theorem is applicable.
a² + b² = c²
c = √a²+b² c = √3² + 6² c = √9 + 36 c = √45 unsimplified radical form c = √9 * 5 c = 3 √5 simplified radical form c = 3 * 2.24 c = 6.71 value of c to the nearest hundredth
