Question

What is the length of the hypotenus of a right triangle in each of the two legs is 7 units

Answer 1

To find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, use the following formula:

`c=√(a^2+b^2)`

Your a and your b are your legs. Plug them in. In this case, we plug in 7 for both.

`c=√(7^2+7^2)`

`c=√(49+49)`

`c=√(98)`

Your answer would be:

Approximate: 9.9

Exact:
`7√(2)`
