Question

now use the equation to solve for the value of c. start by rewriting each exponent as a single number to make this equation easier to work with. find the value of 6² first. b = 3 a = 6 c =? a² + b² = c² 6² + 3² = c² + 3² = c²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate \(6^2\)

According to the formula \(a^n=\underbrace{a\times a\times\cdots\times a}_{n\text{ times}}\), for \(a = 6\) and \(n=2\), we have \(6^2=6\times6 = 36\).

Answer:

\(36\)
