Answer:
c = 8.7 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Substitute in the known values for a and b (the order doesn't matter):
(4.8)^2 + (7.3)^2 = c^2
multiply 4.8 times itself, 7.3 times itself:
23.04 + 53.29 = c^2
76.33 = c^2
Now find the square root of both sides of the equation (square root of c^2 = c):
8.736= c
It says round to the nearest tenth, so c = 8.7 inches
