(PLEASE ANSWER + 10 POINTS!!)Rhonda and Matt are pushing a crate across the floor of a warehouse. Rhonda applies a force of 297 newtons (N), while Matt applies a force of 394 N in a direction that is perpendicular to Rhonda's. The sum of these forces corresponds to the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle in the force diagram, as shown in the figure. What is the approximate total force, F?A. 97 newtonsB. 259 newtonsC. 493 newtonsD. 691 newtons

Question
Answer:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2

297^2 + 394^2 = C^2

88209+155236=243445

take the square root of 243445

you get 493.4

which in your answer they're rounded

so your answer is
