Answer:100

Step-by-step explanation:10² + 10² =c² 10x10 is 100 for both since its square root

100+100=c² 100+100 is 200

your always going to divide by 2 so your going to divide 200÷2=100

so the hypotenuse is 100

Answer:

14.14 in

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:


$a^2+b^2=c^2$


$10^2+10^2=c^2$


$100+100=c^2$


$200=c^2$


$√(200)=√(c^2)$


$14.14\approx{c}$
