Hey there!
Formula:
a = √p(diagonal)^2 + q(diagonal)^2 / 2
a = √p + q / 2
SOLVING FOR CURRENT EQUATION
a = √10^2 + 12^2 / 2
a = √10 * 10 + 12 * 12 / 2
a = √100 + 144 / 2
a = √244 / 2
a = √61
a ≈ 7.81
Thus, your answer is: √61
Or as you put….
5^2 + 6^2 = c^2
5 * 5 + 6 * 6 = c^2
25 + 36 = c^2
√61 or -√61 = c^2
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
