What is the relationship of the sides in this triangle based on the Pythagorean theorem? If n is 62 and m is 28, m to the second power + n to the second power equals what?

1 answer

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the relationship of the sides in a right triangle can be expressed as follows:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Here, a and b represent the lengths of the two legs of the right triangle, while c represents the length of the hypotenuse.

In your question, the values given are n = 62 and m = 28.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the value of c^2:

m^2 + n^2 = c^2
(28)^2 + (62)^2 = c^2
784 + 3844 = c^2
4628 = c^2

So, m^2 + n^2 equals 4628.
