The Pythagorean Theorem is used to to find the sides of a right triangle :
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]where a and b are the legs of the triangle
and
c is the hypotenuse
From the given problem :
The legs are 2 and 3
Using the formula above, the hypotenuse will be :
[tex]\begin{gathered} c^2=2^2+3^2 \\ c^2=4+9 \\ c^2=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]Take the square root of both sides :
[tex]c=\sqrt[]{13}[/tex]The correct answer is Choice B. √13
