Question

Could someone help me out with this ?

Answer 1

c = 15

The length of the hypotenuse is 15.

Explanation:

In order to find the hypotenuse, we would need to use the Pythagorean theorem.

The formula for the pythagorean theorem is:

`a^2+b^2 = c^2`

The numbers we have been given:

A = 9

B = 12

Input the numbers in our formula.

`9^2 + 12^2 = c^2`

Solve.

9 to the power of 2 is 81

12 to the power of 2 is 144

Add.

144 + 81 = 225

Find the square root of C.

`√(225) = 15`

Let's check our work.

`9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2`

Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is 15.

Answer 2

15

Explanation:

To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

We know that a=12 and b = 12

9^2 + 12^2 = c^2

81 + 144 = c^2

225 = c^2

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(225) = sqrt(c^2)

15 =c
