you'd use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

a is the first leg, b is the second leg, and c is the third leg.

10^2+13^2=c^2

100+169=c^2

269=c^2

take the square root of both sides

16.4=c

16.4cm is your answer!

Hello!

The answer is: the hypotenuse length is 16.4 cm.

Why?

Since it's a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that:


c=\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}

Where:


c=hypotenuse\\a=TriangleSide/Leg=10cm\\b=TriangleSide/Leg=13cm

So, the calculating we have:


hypotenuse=\sqrt{10cm^(2)+13cm^(2)}


hypotenuse=√(100cm+169cm)


hypotenuse=√(269cm)


hypotenuse=16.4cm

Hence, the hypotenuse length is 16.4 cm.

Have a nice day!
