Pythagorean theorem

\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)

5.6^2+3.58^2 = 44.1764

\(c^2=44.1764 \)

\(c= sqrt(44.1764) =6.6465329307842897\)

When I use the pythagorean theorem for a=5.6 and b=3.58 i get 20. some thing and that is not the answer.

 

I'm assuming that "a" and "b" are the two shorter sides. Therefore we have:

H^2=5.6^ + 3.58^2

H^2=31.36 +12.8164

H^2=44.1764 take the square root of both sides

H=6.65
