Question

14 ft
48 ft
What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

50

the Pythagorean theorem states that the hypotenuse of a triangle squared is equal to the sums of the other 2 sides squared.

it can be expressed as so:

c^2=a^2+b^2

therefore

c^2=14^2+48^2

C^2= 196+2304

c^2=2500

square root of 2500 is 50

50=the hypotenuse.

Explanation:

Answer 2

50ft

Explanation:

use the Pythagorean theorem 14 squared + 48 squared equals 2500 square root of 2500 equals c squared the square root of 2500 is 50
