c^{2}=3400
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
c=10\sqrt{34} c=-10\sqrt{34}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
c^{2}=3400
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
c^{2}-3400=0
Subtract 3400 from both sides.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-3400\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -3400 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-3400\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
c=\frac{0±\sqrt{13600}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -3400.
c=\frac{0±20\sqrt{34}}{2}
Take the square root of 13600.
c=10\sqrt{34}
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±20\sqrt{34}}{2} when ± is plus.
c=-10\sqrt{34}
Now solve the equation c=\frac{0±20\sqrt{34}}{2} when ± is minus.
c=10\sqrt{34} c=-10\sqrt{34}
The equation is now solved.
