Question

From the previous problems, we know the side lengths of Field A and Field B are 3 acres and 4 acres, respectively. These form the legs of the right triangle upon which Field C's side rests. So, \(a=3\) and \(b=4\).he Pythagorean Theorem states \(a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}\), where \(c\) is the hypotenuse. Substitute the values for \(a\) and \(b\):  \(3^{2}+4^{2}=c^{2}\)\(9+16=c^{2}\) Sum the results: \(25=c^{2}\) square root is 25

Answer 1

If the two sides are 3 and 4, then 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2, so 9 + 16 = 25. Taking the square root of both sides gives c = 5.
