Find the value of c.
The is a right scalene triangle and the right side of the tringle is 12 the left side is c and the bottom is 11.
square root of 121
square root of 144
square root of 265
square root of 132
The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
Applying this theorem to the given triangle, we have:
c^2 + 11^2 = 12^2
c^2 + 121 = 144
c^2 = 144 - 121
c^2 = 23
Taking the square root of both sides gives:
c = √23
Therefore, the value of c is the square root of 23.
