Question

question 21 of 25 which expression gives the length of $overline{qr}$ in the triangle shown below? a. $17^{2}+25^{2}$ b. $sqrt{17^{2}+25^{2}}$ c. $sqrt{17 + 25}$ d. $17+25$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify right triangle legs

Legs: QS=25, RS=17

Step2: Apply Pythagorean theorem

QR = $\sqrt{QS^2 + RS^2} = \sqrt{25^2 + 17^2}$

Answer:

B. $\sqrt{17^2 + 25^2}$
