Answer :

Answer:

[tex]c = 8.60232526704263[/tex]

[tex]c \approx8.6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} [/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{ {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} + {7}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{25 + 49} [/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{74} [/tex]

[tex]c = 8.60232526704263[/tex]

[tex]c \approx8.6[/tex]
