$25$
Answer for screen readers

The final answer is $25$.

Steps to Solve

  1. Calculate 3 squared

To find 3 squared, we multiply 3 by itself: $$ 3^2 = 3 \times 3 = 9 $$

  1. Calculate 4 squared

Next, we find 4 squared by multiplying 4 by itself: $$ 4^2 = 4 \times 4 = 16 $$

  1. Add the results

Now we can add the results of the two squares: $$ 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 $$

The final answer is $25$.

More Information

The question involves the Pythagorean theorem, where the squares of the two shorter sides of a right triangle are summed to find the square of the hypotenuse. In this case, 3 and 4 are considered the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle.

Tips

  • Mistaking the operation: Some may forget to square the numbers and instead just add them first.
  • Incorrect multiplication: Ensuring that the multiplication for the squares is done correctly, as errors can lead to incorrect final results.
