Each of the sails on Joshua’s sailboat forms a triangle. The side lengths of one sail are 13, 17, and 20. What is the measure of each side of the sail?

*the largest angle is opposite the longest side length

• XY = 13, XZ = 20, YZ = 17

• XY = 17, XZ = 13, YZ = 20

• XY = 20, XZ = 17, YZ = 13

• XY = 13, XZ = 17, YZ = 20

What is the final step in solving this work for c?
a² + b² = c²
3² + 4² = c²
9 + 16 = c²
25 = c²

• Divide both sides by 2

• Take the square root of both sides
