Question

Which equation could be used to find the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

`{a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2)`
A. being one of the legs
B. being another leg
C. being the hypotenuse

Ex:


`{6}^(2) + {8}^(2) = {c}^(2)`

`36+ 64= {c}^(2)`

`100 = {c}^(2)`

`√(100) = c`

`10 = c`

Answer 2

a^2+b^2=c^2. “c” represents the hypotenuse. “a” and “b” represent the legs of the triangle.
