Let's solve the problem step-by-step:
1. Calculate the square of each number:
- For [tex]\(6\)[/tex], we have [tex]\(6^2\)[/tex].
- For [tex]\(3\)[/tex], we have [tex]\(3^2\)[/tex].
So we get:
[tex]\[
6^2 = 36
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
3^2 = 9
\][/tex]
2. Add the squares together:
- Sum the results from the previous step.
[tex]\[
36 + 9 = 45
\][/tex]
3. Take the square root of the sum:
- Now, find the square root of [tex]\(45\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
\sqrt{45} \approx 6.708203932499369
\][/tex]
4. Round the result to the nearest tenth:
- To get the final answer, round [tex]\(6.708203932499369\)[/tex] to the nearest tenth.
[tex]\[
6.7
\][/tex]
Considering the options provided:
5.8, 8.0, 17.0, none of the above.
The correct answer is: none of the above.
