\"\"

\

The sides of the right triangle \"\" and \"\".

\

The hypotenuse is \"\".

\

Find \"\".

\

\"\"                                                     (Pythagorean theorem)

\

\"\"                                      (Substitute \"\" and \"\" )

\

\"\"                                                    (Evaluate powers \"\" and \"\")

\

\"\"                                                          (Addition: \"\")

\

\"\"                                                   (Take the square root of each side)

\

\"\"                                                        (Cancel square and root terms)

\

\"\"                                                          (Substitute: \"\")

\

The sides of the triangle cannot be negative.

\

Therefore, the value of \"\".

\

\"\"

\
