In triangle ABC below, line segment is 9 meters long and line segment is 7 meters long. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of line segment to the nearest tenth of a meter. Show all of your work!
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Since I can't see the triangle, I will assume that the given dimensions do not include the hypotenuse.
9^2 + 7^2 = c^2
Solve for c.
