164=c^{2}
Add 100 and 64 to get 164.
c^{2}=164
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
c=2\sqrt{41} c=-2\sqrt{41}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
164=c^{2}
Add 100 and 64 to get 164.
c^{2}=164
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
c^{2}-164=0
Subtract 164 from both sides.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-164\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -164 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-164\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{656}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -164.
c=\frac{0±4\sqrt{41}}{2}
Take the square root of 656.
c=2\sqrt{41}
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±4\sqrt{41}}{2} when ± is plus.
c=-2\sqrt{41}
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±4\sqrt{41}}{2} when ± is minus.
c=2\sqrt{41} c=-2\sqrt{41}
The equation is now solved.
