Question

start by substituting the value of a and b in the pythagorean theorem equation. the pythagorean theorem says that if a, b, and c are the sides of a right triangle, where c is the hypotenuse, then: $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$. $a = 8$ $b = 5$ $c =?$ $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ $\square^{2}+\square^{2}=c^{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute the values of \(a\) and \(b\)

Given \(a = 8\) and \(b = 5\), substitute into \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\).
So we get \(8^{2}+5^{2}=c^{2}\).

Answer:

\(8^{2}+5^{2}=c^{2}\)
