Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse? If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

c = 37 mi

Explanation:

Pythagorean theorem:

To find 'c' use Pythagorean theorem.

`\sf \boxed{\bf hypotenuse^2 = base^2 + altitude^2}`

c² = 35² + 12²

=1225 + 144

= 1369

`\sf c = √(1369)\\\\ c = √(37*37)\\\\ \boxed{\bf c = 37 \ mi}`
