The hypotenuse is √221.

To solve, use the Pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c². The variables a and b represent the legs of the triangle, and the variable c represents the hypotenuse. Plug in the known variables of a and b, and solve for c.

a = 10
b = 11

a² + b² = c²
10² + 11² = c²
100 + 121 = c²
221 = c²
√221 = c

Hey!

You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

a = 10
10² = 10 × 10 = 100

b = 11
11² = 11 × 11 = 121

100 + 121 = 221

√221 = 14.9(rounded)

Answer ⇒ 14.9

Hope this helps! :)
