Answer:
The answer is no he is not correct, here's why.
C) No, he subtracted 1 and 9 instead of adding.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jerrod has found the hypotenuse, with the legs of 3 ft and 1 ft, his process is:
[tex]c^{2}[/tex] = 32 + 12
[tex]c^{2}[/tex] = 9 + 1
[tex]c^{2}[/tex] = 8
c = 8
The legs Jerrod said are 3 ft and 1 ft
so A and B of the formula of pythagorean theorem could be:
[tex]a^{2}[/tex] = (3)[tex].^{2}[/tex]
[tex]b^{2}[/tex] = (1)[tex].^{2}[/tex]
This leads us to:
[tex]3^{2} + 1^{2} = c^{2}[/tex]
which is:
9 + 1 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]
10 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]
In this case, Jerrod had calculated wrong by instead of adding he had subtracted.
(I don't know where he got 32 + 12, but other than that his process is correct other than calculation error)
