I think you might need to explain why you chose those answers before anyone can help you.

Ie show your working.

A triangle with sides 6 and 5 has a hypotenuse that is [itex]\sqrt {61}\;\;\simeq 7.8102[/itex]

That doesn't tell me anything about how I arrived at that answer though does it. :smile:
