Question

Which is what the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle ?

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS D ON EDGEN.

Explanation:

D. 37 ft.

Answer 2

For this, you will be doing the pythagorean theorem, which is
`leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2` . In this case, the legs are 12 and 35 and the hypotenuse is AB. Using this, the equation will look like this:

`12^2+35^2=AB^2`

Firstly, solve the exponents:
`144+1225=AB^2`

Next, add up 144 and 1225:
`1369=AB^2`

Lastly, square root each side, and your answer should be
`37 = AB`

In short, the hypotenuse is 37 ft, or the last option.
