WY = a = 4
ZY = b = 3
As WYZ is forming a right angle triangle, therefore, we can use pythagorean theorem to find the value of c
a2+b2=c2 (4)2+(3)2=C2 16+9=C2 C2=25
Taking square root on both sides
√c2= √25 c=5
The value of c is 5 units.
The value of c is 5 units
The complete question is an illustration of a right-triangle, where the equation to calculate the value of c is:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
The equation becomes
c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2
Evaluate the exponents
c^2 = 9 + 16
Evaluate the sum
c^2 = 25
Take the square root of both sides
c =5
Hence, the value of c is 5 units
