QuestionPythogoras' theorem can be written as: $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$ where $a, b$ and $c$ are lengths.
Rearrange this to make $c$ the subject of the formula.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given the equation $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ .
2. We need to rearrange the equation to solve for $c$ .

STEP 2

1. Isolate $c^2$ on one side of the equation.
2. Solve for $c$ by taking the square root.

STEP 3

The equation is already in the form $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$ , so $c^2$ is isolated on one side.

STEP 4

To solve for $c$ , take the square root of both sides of the equation:
$c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$
The formula with $c$ as the subject is:
$\boxed{c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$
