Question

Solve the expression using the order of operation: Find the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the legs are 8cm and 5cm by using the Pythagorean theorem: (leg^2 +leg^2=hypotenuse^2)

Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary
Hypotenuse =. Cm


I got 89^2 but I don’t think I I did it correctly

Answer 1

`{a}^(2) + {b}^(2) = {c}^(2) \\ {8}^(2) + {5}^(2) = {c}^(2) \\ 64 + 25 = {c}^(2) \\ 89 = {c}^(2) \\ √(89) = {c}^(2) \\ 9.4 = c`
