Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs that measure 3 and 5

Answer 1

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

`c^2=a^2+b^2`
We have:

`a=3;\ b=5`
Substitute:

`c^2=3^2+5^2\\\\c^2=9+25\\\\c^2=34\to c=√(34)\approx5.83`

Answer 2

Hey there! :)

You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

a = 3
3² = 3 × 3 = 9

b = 5
5² = 5 × 5 = 25

25 + 9 = 34

√34 = 5.8

c = 5.8

Hope this helps :)
