Order the steps of applying the Pythagorean theorem to determine the distance between two points. The points are at the vertices of (b,c) and (a,c). Assume you know the lengths of a and b.
Step 1: Calculate the square root of the sum of a-squared and b-squared:
C = √(a^2 + b^2)
Step 2: Determine the square of c:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Step 3: Add a-squared and b-squared:
C = √(c^2)
