Question

What is the length of the hypotenuse of this triangle? Round to the nearest tenth​

Answer 1

The length of the hypotenuse of this triangle is 5.4

Explanation:

For a given Triangle

Let the Triangle ABC

m∠B = 90°, AB = 5, BC = 2, AC = ?

Now, By Pythagoras Theorem

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = (5)² + (2)²

AC² = 25 + 4

AC² = 29

AC = √29 = 5.4

Thus, The length of the hypotenuse of this triangle is 5.4

Answer 2

√29 or 5.4

Explanation:

Given in the question a right angle triangle

height of right angle triangle = 5

base of right angle triangle = 2

hypotenuse of right angle triangle = x

We will use pythagorus theorem

hypotenuse² = base² + height²

x² = 5² + 2²

x² = 25 + 4

x² = 29

x = √29

x = 5.4
