Answer:
c ≈ 7.07
Pythagorean theorem: a2 + b2 = c2.
You are solving for c2, or the hypotenuse (the blank side of the triangle).
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Fill in the Pythagorean theorem formula.
5^2 + 5^2 = c2
2. Simplify.
25 + 25 = c2
3. Solve
25 + 25 = 50
c2 = 50
4. Find the square root of 50 because "c" SQUARED is the answer (c2).

c ≈ 7.07
5^2 + 5^2 ≈ 7.07^2. You have your answer.
