Question

4 squared plus 3 squared equals ?
using pythagorem to find the area of c squared

Answer 1

To find \( c^2 \) using the Pythagorean theorem, we'll first calculate \( 4^2 \) and \( 3^2 \), then sum them up.

1. Calculate \( 4^2 \):
\[
4^2 = 16
\]

2. Calculate \( 3^2 \):
\[
3^2 = 9
\]

3. Add the two results:
\[
4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25
\]

So, using the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
c^2 = 25
\]

Therefore, the value of \( c^2 \) is \( 25 \).
