Answer:
c = 24.41
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²
c is always the hypotenuse, which in our case, is the unknown side.
Therefore, a=20 and b=14
Plug in:
20²+14²=c²
400+196=c²
596=c²
[tex]\sqrt{596}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{c^2}[/tex] (Take square root of both sides to cancel power)
c = [tex]\sqrt{596}[/tex]
c = 24.41
