A triangle has sides of 4 and 6. What is a possible length of the third side?

The length of the third side is ...

7.188 = c^2

7.2≈ c^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2.

That'll give you the equation of 4^2+6^2=c^2

Now simplify the equation.

16+36 = c^2

Add.

52 = c^2

Now, find the square root of 52 to get c.

7.188 = c^2

7.2≈ c^2

7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Do 6^2 = 36

Do 4^2 = 16

Add them which equal 52

Square root of 52 is 7.2 to 1 decimal Place this is a possible length
