Question

What is the measure of the hypotenuse

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve this we can use the formula: a²+b²=c²

So, 4²+3²=c²

C is our unknown variable so first lets solve 4²+3²

4²=16

3²=9

So now lets plug in the numbers:

16+9=c²

16+9=25

25 is the answer!

Hope this helps.. btw if that is not correct try doing 25² :)

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

3,4,5 is something you need to memorize when it comes to right triangles.

Also, you can use Pythagorean's theorem:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = c^2

9 + 16 = c^2

c = radical(25)

c = 5
