Mckenzie and Cara both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled 5 and the other is labeled 13. A right angles is labeled in between the legs. Mckenzie's Work Cara's Work a2 + b2 = c2 a2 + b2 = c2 52 + 132 = c2 52 + b2 = 132 25 + 169 = c2 25 + b2 = 169 194 = c2 b2 = 144 Square root 194 equals square root c squared. Square root b squared equals square root 144. 13.93 ≈ c b ≈ 12 Is either of them correct? Explain your reasoning.

Pythagorean Theorum is defined in Mathematics by a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

One leg (a) is 5. The other leg (b) is 13.

Let's use Pythagorean Theorum.

5^2 + 13^2 = c^2

5 • 5 = 25

13 • 13 = 169

25 + 169 = 194.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps

a² + b² = c²

5² + 13² = c²

Square root 194 equals square root c squared.

13.93 ≈ c

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

Where a and b are the lengths of the legs, and c is the length of the hypotenuse

5² + 13² = c²

25 + 169 = c²

194 = c²

square root both sides

13.93 ≈ c
